Hi Gavin, been several long threads on this, consensus is that
"pulling" is better. That is the way the car was designed in the
first place. I will admit that my Avalon uses (stock) the push mode,
but again it was designed to do that. My TR3 is a small mouth, but I
hear from the list that the deflector is a big help and if yours is a
TR3A wide mouth and the grill is not original you might need to
"flatten" the cross bars in the grill for even more air flow.
Good Luck
