ok well i didnt know were tro put this so its in thei board, i jsut put on a lift off 4inch cowl hood and its raining, i have my car covered, but is there any way to ensure that i wont get any water on the distributor when i wash my car or when its raining outside and not covered, could i fab up a cover for it but that is open for the air cleaner, if anyone has done something liek this please post pictures or ideas, thanks

 

You might try putting a rubber boot over the distributor cap (like the 5.0 Mustangs had from the factory).

Or just keep a can of WD-40 in the car & if the dist. ever gets wet, spray the bejeezus out of it.

 

should i jsut go to a junk yard and look for one, or is there some place that i could get one really cheap, the boot i mean. also what year mustangs am i looking for

 

try a piece of sheet metal of plastic with some weather stripping wraped around the edge so its a tights fit. Add a handle or **** so you can pull it off. Of course if you use metal prime and paint it to match the car. Just an idea.

 

What kind of cowl? If it's a high end one, all you need to do is put the factory weather stripping on it and your set.

 

its a 4inch hood, i was thinking of along the lines of the sheet metal, then cutting a hole just for the air cleaner, then have the rest closed, and have it seal with the places were the stock hood laid

 

Hey Squeaks, i have the same hood and am debating on how to get it on. Can you send me a pic of how yours is or some commentary on where your pins are, etc. And how you keep it from rattling. Thanks man!

 

sure, if you want ill give you my web shot picture page addy so you can check it out, the way im keeping it from rattling is by getting some more of those rubber bumpers that are on the fron and putting them on the back, then just using locking hood pins so no one can jack it
