cfi hood scoop on 1983 t/a ...hows it work?

just picked up a 1983 daytona with the 305 cfi...I am curious on how the hood scoops operates...I see that it has a few electric wires running out of system .\

what controls the opening of this scoop...is it tempature? or increase on the gas pedal? or ......??????

ooops...i put this in wrong place ...new guy

The opening of the hood flap is controlled by the ECM. When the ECM gets a signal from the Throttle Position Switch that it's in WOT then it will supply power to the solenoid to open the hood flap.
