Looking for the individual portholes/ventiports off a '71 Lesabre or Electra, I need three per side. Don't need NOS, unless the price is right ( :bglasses: ) just something decent I can try an idea out on - Going to open them up and try letting some of that incredibly hot underhood air :af: out...West Texas summers...every bit should help!
Hot Underhood Air Have you tried connecting the distributor vacuum advance to manifold vacuum instead of proted vacuum at idle as per Buick? My 72 was like a furnace under the hood till I did this.
Carl! How you been? BTW, the new dash looks wonderful, haven't torn into the doors yet, but that's on the list. Thanks again!!! :TU: Yeah, been using manifold vacuum for years, it DO make a difference! I'm just trying to get rid of as much heat as possible, towing a boat in 90+ weather - every little bit helps! I'm not sure how much difference it'll make, just kind of a stray thought I figured I'd try, then the local yard doesn't have ANY big '71 Buicks in it... :rant:
hood venta ports 71 have multisets if not found contact me, craig in Minneapolis c_geske@earthlink.net
Hi James, I was enjoying the summer cruising around in my Centurion! It gets lots of waves and honks, too bad winter gets here so soon. I would also change thermostats if the underhood temp is high. Carl
