Motor Trend magazine couldn't resist a jab at the styling of that fresh air ventilation shape when they noted that "the half moon shape is long recognized in American lore as symbolizing ventilation"

Will do! What does everyone think about cooling down things with the air dams? Good Idea? I would think it would really increase air flow at 60 mph and cool the upper engine compartment air.

Here are some pics of the Empi side scoops on my original 1966 EMPI GTV MKIV.
You can see the three small holes to mount the scoops (the originals used rivets).
You can also see the large hole that allows fresh air into the coduits the creates "ram air" to the engine bay.
Look closely in the top left and right hand sides of the engine bay and you can see the ends of the conduits peeking through.
Shocked

I know this is dated.... But I've spent weeks looking for installation instructions on these.
Your photos? Just what I needed.
Thank you.
