>>MISSING: air dam 2 rad??<<
From reading the stickies I get the impression I should have an Air Dam moving air to my radiator..... I appear to not have one and the car overheated on the E-Way on my way home from work.... I have a 91'Bird(305TBI) anyone got pics off thier air dam?? Can I buy an aftermarket one?? I'm sure I can Fabricate one, But buying one would be less time consuming... RADIATOR NEEDS FRESH AIR! Thank you--- Mike

Look under the front end of your car.

It is about 4"-5" tall, and either 1-piece or 3-pieces (2 different types), of black plastic hanging down, directly under the radiator.

It should be pretty obvious if it it missing or not.
