My '75 2.0L has a set of them, my wife's '71 1.7L does not. My understanding is that they help to improve engine cooling.
We want to keep the '71 as close to stock as possible, but would like to know if anyone has retro-fitted them to early cars? ... and was it worth the effort? (cooling improvement). |

They create a pocket of lower pressure under the engine which in turn draws more air through the grill and is very effective at improving the cooling so... 73 and yes... all years would benifit.
When attempting to build my GT clone, it was one of the things I left on my later tub, even thought it wouldn't have been around in 1970: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-1110-1303151580.1.jpg) |
