How does this vent in the cowl of my 37 operate or open up?




if you are asking "does it open from the front or rear"
the front goes up, unless someone made it so it won't open.

there should be a lever under the dash that you push forward to open it, but it all might be rusted up and non working..

I just oil everything up and work it back and forth till it frees up
