Does anyone have a picture of the cut outs under
the hood scoops on a dart swinger hood and how or what they terminate to. I know there are large
grommets in the hole but do they go to anything
on the air cleaner etc?

There is a guy on here who has a good pic of under the hood so maybe he will chime in. I dont have any under hood pics of my sons. We cut the hood on my sons when we added the scoops. You can tell in the webbing under the hood where it is rounded a little that it is where you cut the holes which I believe should be 4 inches. Ron

That helps, I know the grommits go in the holes,
but is that it then? No hook up to the air cleaner
or anything, just the open holes?

I'd make them bigger. The factory holes seems a tad small to me.

I put my holes towards the back of the scoop, if the holes are towards the front then when you drive you are trapping air inside the back of the scoop and its a good way for the hood to get squirrely at higher speeds.

I used to own a laundromat so if you want to put some rubber edging on the holes, go to a Commercial Wascomat or Speed Queen distributor and get 1 dryer door seal. The look almost like originals for ALLOT less

The scoops are so low on the hood that they wont pick much air up any ways. I wouldnt worry about trapped air in them. At most they will let some heat out.
