Are there any vacuume lines? My 72 chevelle had vacuume lines to control the flapper.

seems like the second gens had a solinoid. I don't remember ever seeing one on a third gen though.

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

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.

it should be better than the later ones where the openig was in teh very front of the hood since that is a low pressure area
