After talking to Mike(Mr. P-body)we came to the conclusion that my hood scoop is creating an issue as fuel is splashed all over my carbs after a pass. It`s a 5 1/2" 6-pack scoop that`s not really up in the air stream so I was considering getting air through the grill or lower vallance through 4" ducts Ford Thunderbolt style. This is a street car so a tall functional scoop is out of the question both legally and visually...........anyone run that set up and did you see an improvement. By the way, Mike will forget more than I`ll ever know.

There is a site that sells fiberglass hood scoops. They also list some type of duct work that funnels air into a cowl hood but from the front . I will go search and see if I can dig it up

Sounds great............thankxxx Fred........

just saying

I think this is what Fred was talking about:

Are you using a air filter?

Like this? 4 inch tube though inner fender,to radiator core support. I think the air may be turbulent at the inlet,but its cooler. Mike

what I saw was more like an addtion to the hood.It had one side open that looked like it rested against the underside of the hood

I`d love to see what you`re refering to.

What we had talked about was maybe bringing in a single
or double hose/tubing into the bottom of his sealed
off 6 pac pan then closing off the front of it(maybe
back in 3 " and painting it black so it looks normal)
yes he is running a filter which sticks up in the scoop

i got a customer to build a thunderbolt style set up for his dual quad,inline,409.it did help mostly because he ran no filter when racing and now at least it wasn't sucking down hot air.there did not appear to be any draw backs just screened the 2 intakes-outer headlamp position.got a cowl now with a mickey thompson crossram

This is a nice set up for a cowl hood. Sealed cool air from grille area and hot air from engine exits cowl. I like it.

I run the 3" Six-pak scoop and the carb responds to every single jet change so I assume it is working good. I talked to someone the other day that went from a six-pak hood to a big pro stock scoop, even with jetting the car didn't pick up. I was really surprised to hear that.
