[DeTomaso] Hood vent location

You should probably wait for Jack to respond to this, since your friend is doing it to "assist with airflow" and it therefore deals with fluid dynamics.  My recollection is that the air is supposed to flow thru the radiator and then under the car.  A stock radiator has enough space behind it that flow should be fairly unrestricted as it does so.
 
What kind of radiator does he have?  If it is a big laydown rad, how much space is present behind it for air to flow thru it then out below the car?
 
If he is doing it because he likes the way it looks, that is another matter.  But I too would not cut up a stock hood.

I too would not want to cut an unmolested hood. It seems lately that
   bone
stock cars are up in resale value over slightly modified ones.
   I may block
off my vents just to run a test on water temperature
   difference.

Re: [DeTomaso] Hood vent location
     I have a Colgan bra that has the holes
in it for hood vents, so they
     must have had a standard location position.
Let me know if you need
   me
     to .measure where the holes are in the bra,
surely an actual hood is
   a
     better measurement source if
     Somenody
steps up,
     Personally, I guess I would try to talk him out of cutting up
his car
     or convince him to buy another hood in either metal or fiberglass
for
     this experiment.
     Paint them both and always have the original
hood unmolested.

       Hi guys. My 74
car is in the shop for fresh paint and I've taken
   the
       opportunity to
have a set of Hall Pantera hood vents put in the
       front to assist with
airflow through the radiator.
       Problem is knowing where to put them.
Clearly they need to be
       positioned to allow optimal air flow so can
someone help me out.
       Maybe run a straight line accross the hood from the
front or rear
   of
       the vents and then measure up the side of the hood
to the front
       corner. Then it will be easy for me to get it right..
