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.

Subject: [Tigers] Hood louvers
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
