I swapped in a 79 350 into my 83 z28. had the LU5 engine with functional hood flaps. How do i hook up the solenoid on the hood to open the flaps again under throttle?

 

Jeff,

I installed a NO (Normally Open) limit switch to the down-post from the a/c mount arm. The switch is pressed Closed by the carb linkage, when the linkage moves away from the stop the flaps open. I though about installing the limit switch at the back-side (WOT) but realized it would rarely open, and would be a danger to accidentally bind something at WOT. Everyone that sees it "Wack-Open" and shut when revvved thinks it's extremely cool. My son loves it!

Kurt, long time no see!

Glad you came in and answered the question. I couldn't remember what you had done.

 

Here's a quick photo.... Notice a small piece of angle was welded to the A/C Brkt to provide a mounting point.
