http://3113.com/mustang/motor/pages/Motor14.htm on this one u can see where the ducts will line up.
I have since changed that stupid edelbrock filter and put a 13" x 3" filter on the carb. How can I attach some ducts from the hood scoops to the carb? The basic idea that I have is that 2 ducts will go from the air filter to the scoops, but what will support/hold them in place? I could attach the ducts to the hood and have it so when i closed it they would line up with the filter. But I dont really wanna have bolts in my hood if you catch my drift.
What should I make my ducts out of? Maybe fab up some sheet metal for strength? Ive been sittin here thinkin on this for like 30min while typing this up and I think ive finaly got an idea that will work.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW The attachment. Heres how itll be supported, and it will all be on the hood,under side of it anyway. The 2 ducts will each get 2 screws/rivits from the front. They will connect to a piece of sheet metal thats a circle that has some sort of weather stripping on the top and bottom of it. So when the hood closes theres a tight seal around the air filter. Then on the back side of that I will have 2 supports that will attach to the lip you see there on the back of the hood. That lip is about 4 inchs deep, so when i put my supports there they will have 4 inchs to hold onto and hopefully it will hold.
Get the idea? I dont know if this is a good idea or bad. The main problem i forsee is the on the scoops where i have to screw my ducts to to hold them there. When I cut those scoops out I will put a piece of metal around the outside of the hole as u will see in my attachments. The black part is the cutout of course and the white part is the metal.
