[DeTomaso] Hood vent location

My '74 (#7104) has the original radiator (but all new pipes) no hood vent and has never (since June 2000) been much over 190deg.
Only on a Las Vegas trip did it edge over 190 while stopped in traffic in middle of the desert with the AC on.  Oh, I put new bigger
radiator fans in it. The originals were pathetic.

I agree with Tomas. I've owned a Pantera without hood vents and had no
temperature issues, and my current car HAS the vents, but I don't have any
issues either.

If the car is running hot, then something else is wrong... This afternoon I
can shoot some pictures of my factory GT5-S so that you can see the
location. The front hood is currently sitting in my laundry room :-(

The answer is that they have minimal impact on radiator air flow at speed.
If he has cooling issues they are better cured with other methods IMO.

Hi A friend of mine in Australia needs to know the exact location of where
to put the hood vents here is his email below. Please let me know the
measurements of where they need to be cut and I'll pass it onto him thank
you. Ed
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..
