Pontiac GTO Restoration Guide; Page 382 (Zazarine) shows what you need to do.
Email me at sartianojf@msn.com if you don't have the Guide. Would post it here but can't figure out how to do it.

I did this from the Resto Guide and it looks and functions excellent. I had no problem performing this since the RA cars had this as a dealer option, so I felt I did as good of a job as they did.

Good Luck!!

I've been thinking of opening up my original scoop to have ram air. No tripower but just to let air in on the 4bbl and open aircleaner. Any thoughts on it being a good idea or not.

I was also thinking of getting the open scoop from Ames. But they say the fit of the scoop to the hood isn't as good as the original hood scoop.
