i hear tat they are very rare but there are 3 wires that come off the electric motor the guy said that they go into the distributor and run off of the rpms but i have no idea where they would splice in. im thinking of running it off of a switch just incase i get stuck in the rain so im not sucking in waterbut i like the reving with the hood opening
Im gona shrink it today.

Ok, that hood... really? Those things were actually functional? To be honest, seems like it'd be a waste fo time to get that thing to work again. How much intake could that actually provide? Seems like another failed GM inovation to me.
