[Tigers] Hood louvers

[steve wick]

I can't say if the louvers "help" or not, but when I bought my car, it had 3
rows of louvers in the middle of the hood, and it still gets vapor lock after
about 1/2 hour on a hot day. I do know they are a pain to work around when
you're waxing the car. My project this winter is a new radiator, replace the
missing shroud, reroute the fuel line (maybe go to a larger diameter) and
sealing all the holes in the core support, as others have said, to try and
keep the engine cooler. It hits about 220 and dies.

  I'm new to the list, first time posting but a few months into reading, and
  following, the discussions. This is a great resource. Thank you all.

  Do hood louvers help with venting all that hot air? I have an extra hood
and
  am ready to send it off for treatment if those with experience think it's
  worthwhile.

  Here's the second part. Can someone direct me to a photo, or give me
  measurements, to show exactly where the two rows of louvers should be
  located? Thank you. Bruce
