Just wondering if anyone has put a Z28 cowl induction scoop on a 3rd gen? If anyone has any experinece with this, I am looking for the following information:

1: How do you wire the flapper door so that it opens at WOT?
2. What should you do to make it sit flat on the hood (grind the nubs down, drill bigger holes?)

Thanks for your help.

 

I think the flapper hooks up to a vacuum line, doesn't it?

Send a private message to RB83L69, he used to have one and may be able to help you.

 

i have it on mine...but its controled by a toggle switch on my center counsel..I just flip the switch and the flaps pop up..btw this is on my 86 IROC...All I did whats tap into the battery, ran a wire to the toggle swicth then back to the positve on the flap motor andjust grounded the negitive...

 

I wanna see a pic of this.. Anyone?

 

I believe that they were wired with a vacuum switch (thanks to the posted in the electrical forum). Vacuum would trigger the switch to ground, closing the circuit and activating the actuator, opening the door.

I tried using a instant on switch (the type that is only on as long as you hold it on) that I had mounted to the throttle bracket. That worked for a couple of hours until I saw smoke coming from the actuator motor.

Does anyone know if there was a relay in the system anywhere?

Thanks again, appreciate the assistance.
