69 Camaro Cowl Induction Flapper Valve/Upholstery?

[mannymen]

1. In superstock do you have to have the Flapper Valve installed in a Camaros cowl induction hood?

2. If so, are you guys keeping it permanently open or just leaving flap?

3. If being kept open how are you permanently holding it open and does anyone have any picks of what theirs looks like being held open?

4. For superstock do I have to have pillar posts and kick panels installed?

Please send any pics anyone has regarding the flapper valve to mannymen8@aol.com

Thanks

Mannymen, on our 69 camaro cowl with the cowl flapper we would have it open and close. We have it hooked up to the water pump switch. So everytime I turn the water pump on it opens the flap. Hope this helps

I only have the frame and flapper installed. I don't have the solenoids or anything else installed. Is there another way with wire, super glue or something else?

I'll send you a pic of my set up.

Joe, Please send any pics you have it would be much appreciated.

Can anyone else answer questions 1 and 4?

Just don't want any surprises as the INDY D3 race will be my first NHRA SS race.



Thanks

Even without a roll cage, installing kick panels in a '69 Camaro is no fun. The rule book says full street equipment. If you don't have them, the tech guys may tell you, "You need these things before your next event."
