Well I'm going to go out on a limb here and clarify that that's probably their version of a cowl induction hood where the air hits the windshield and then goes under the scoop I know it sounds stupid but I think that's accurate

A lot of old school cars had the scoops mounted that way, it prevents dirt, debris, rain, ect... from getting in to the engine. It still functions as turbulent gathers off the hood scoop when hitting the windshield. It's the same idea with Chevy's Cowl Induction design.😎​@@TheSeventhDeadlyMatador

[@juno4494]

It's naturally aspirated (not forced air induction), so the rear-facing scoop works just fine. Probably just a high-rise manifold with a 650 or 750 carb, at most, dual quads. All it needs is cold air. The carb draws what it needs, and It's no colder if it comes in faster (with a forward-facing scoop). Kind of like todays cars with cold air induction kits that simply snake around to the most direct and convenient entry port (wheel well, etc.).

[@unicornsteaks6769]

I remember discussing backwards scoops with a friend who had a TA. He said they cram air in. I asked him if which side of the ice cream scoop he uses. I do understand the cowl hood when you have a higher rise intake.

[@stuwest3653]

@@unicornsteaks6769 You are both wrong. Ram air does more than direct cold air and A cowl induction pulls air in.

The Mustang was rolled several episodes before (Crash course was the title). And the Camaro was jumped off of a ramp. Passenger side damage. Both cars were repainted. I don't know what order these episodes were filmed in, or rather if they were aired out of order. Very common for the time.

Brakes where more of a suggestion too. I wish I had kept it. Such an analogue and connected feeling that modern cars just lack.

For those of you reading this YT debacle of cancelling my replies: It seems that Dethmeister hit on the trick. That is, if I sort the threads according to "newest" instead of "top comment", I can now see my replies that were "hidden". I don't usually use this function because it will bury pertinent threads way down in comment sections that are very active. (And now I can see mercoid's post). However, it still seems to be selective. I have exchanged posts and replies in some comments sections that are many months to two years old without going to "newest". I'm still going to call this a glitch, but at least I can continue to subject you poor souls to my twistedness (yes it is a word if I say it is). And thanks for your patience, CCW.

[@partlycloudy9443]

​@@mattg7952 And its on backwards for a high rise intake. being a car guy in the 70s and building several old camaros and firebirds I know which way the air should flow into a hood scoop. And Im familiar with that specific style of scoop, its an old prostock drag scoop for increased air flow to the carbs. Running it backwards like that you're not "scooping" air so you're cutting down on the air flow that a high rise tunnel ram with a dual carb set up needs for peak performance. Also, being that its a sitcom tv car from the 70s it probably has a stock motor in it and the scoop is just cosmetic. In any case its mounted backwards.

[@flovatic]

@@mattg7952 It's called a Pro Stock scoop. The same one that is on my Barracuda. It's backwards. I knew I'd see you on here berating people once I saw that backwards Pro Stock Scoop.
