Hi there Ive got a Mach 1 1971 351 Cleveland and It has ram air scoops on the hood (bonnet) but Im just wondering if mines are just for show or they do anything, the holes are not blocked up so I imagine it would cool the engine down when moving, is this what ram air is? sorry if this sounds a dum ass question but its not to me ???

Jim, no hood to plenum seal

Slimbo I have a kit

Does anyone know if there should be some type of seal between the hood and the plenum?

Jim
The rubber ring on top of the breather (on the picture you provided) serves as a seal when the hood is closed.
