1970 AMX hood scoop
ok this is for the 2 or 3 guys that have ran a 1970 AMX, i've heard the hood-scoop is too low and really not effective, my question is should i just use as big a air cleaner as i can fit under the hood and treat it like there is no scoop, or should i go ahead and try to seal the carb to the scoop. i'm kinda hoping someone has tested this and is willing to share there experience.
Thank you Patrick Ford |

Re: 1970 AMX hood scoop
Having owned and raced several 70's ,I can tell you it does have some benefit.
Anytime you can have outside air over engine compartment temp ,you take it . use the air cleaner base only , without the seal

Re: 1970 AMX hood scoop
Never did an a-b but, the buttometer says sealed. Boundary air is cooler
than underhood air. The AMX scoop is higher than the S/C360 scoop. Ron. |
