Default Re: Do you have to have correct hood

I think someone mentioned this, but I can't remember. The question is in Super Stock for a 69 camaro cowl induction hood do you have to use the cowl flapper valve and framing or can I just leave it off altogether?


Thanks
Manny

Yes, all the OEM flappers and ductwork has to be in place. It can be "stuck open".

Technically speaking, the "plates" on the '67 Camaro SS hood are not the same as the Chevy II trim. Different part numbers and casting numbers, even though they seem to interchange for fit. The '68 Camaro SS cars with a 350 had the same hood trim pieces as the '67; the '68 396 cars had the four port-hole type. All the '69 SS cars all used the four port hole type trim pieces. This is according to Chevrolet parts books of that era.

The port-hole type trim had a rubber drain tube that fit into a hole in the hood to allow rain water to drain out of the recesses in the top of the hood. I watched a racer from D3 at the '71 Nationals get kicked out of tech line because he didn't have the rubber drain tubes in his hood. What's the chances of finding those at your local Chevy dealer? A local donated the ones off his street car after a four hour search.

At the same race, we got kicked out until we took our sway bar off and turned it over. Seems we had installed it upside down! Another racer from D2 with a '56 Chevy got bounced for having '55 sun visors in his car. ???? Biedencamp.
