Functional Hood Flaps

I have a 82 Z28 all original. I purchased 2 functional cowls I found on line since there was none at time of purchase. How do I install? What could be the issue if not working after installation? After electrical testing, they both do indeed work.

Re: Functional Hood Cowl

Do you mean the hood with the functional flaps that works with the cross-fire injection system? Because that's not a cowl induction hood. Just trying to clarify what you're referring to.

Mmk, my car came with that hood. If I remember correctly the flaps were hooked into the throttle somehow, but I'm not entirely sure (car was a roller when I got it and someone had unhooked them).
