Were there vacuum / diaphram type actuators on these doors??

If the doors came open,,I would think the scoop opening must have been too small then. That would take ALOT of vacuum,,,

Thanks everyone for all of the information. Lots of great input.
Based just on cool air, I am going seal up my scoop. I plan to use an air cleaner, using the base of the air cleaner to mount the air pan. Worst case, I can always take it off.
If I can, I will devise in a monometer to measure the actual pressure in the sealed portion of the air pan.
Thanks again, John

Designed and made a posterboard mock-up/template. Will fit it up this weekend to the hood, and then use template to make up the air pan.
I went to a tapered side design to give more access around the underside near the carb. And, give more airflow room around the air cleaner.

Ari:
Looks neat. DO you have a foam seal on the bottom of the hood?

Poster board & card board is what I use to make all my templates from also. Fewer mistakes that way. I just saw where Tuff Paw is making scoop trays now. Might be a good place to buy from or get some good ideas.

My 6pak scoop is only 3" tall and the carb air horns are close but I still get a half tenth out of sealing it. My pan is huge like Stroker Scamps.
