Re: formula cowl

82-84 t/a's had functional cowl hoods. They were lost until i think 88 when they brought out the formula's that used the non-functional cowl hood. Not a bad setup, but in 82-84 they were actually hooked up to the air intake to make them fully functional.

Re: formula cowl

Yes,they are kinda rare these days,but it will not give any gain whatsoever to your car unless you're just looking for an appeareance upgrade.
By the way,correct me if I'm wrong but I see dunnellon and Fl. in your post.
