Subject: [Chevelle-List] Cowl Hood
I am looking for a 70 - 72 Cowl Hood with a flapper style
cowl. This hood can be in any shape because I am going to modify it for
my car tow vehicle. I know what I can get a new one for, but would
prefer a cheaper dented one. I live in the mid-west.

Chris,
Ya, its throttle body
injection. I get between 18 and if I am really good, 25. I have a small 305
too I thought I would mention. Some of these guys can clarify it more thn I
can I'm sure but here ya go. It's just a system with two fuel injectors on
top very similar to a carb, but its controlled by a computer. This allows
for the more precision than a carb because the computer decides the air/fuel
mixture an dwhat not given the conditions. Then there is tuned port. They
came on late 80's camaros and other vehicles that just have a fuel injector
for each port. Mult-port gives you more precise a/f mixtures over TBI, but
TBI runs a wet intake manifold so it stays cooler which is why you see those
newer Impalas with their ice packs on the manifolds at the race tracks.

i know this might sound really dumb to you guys, but i
don't know so i gotta
ask...
what the heck is TBI?
my
first assumption is throttle body injection, not sure if this is what it
is or if i made it up tho. what does it do and how do you get a better
mpg
with it? curious because i have just invested in a 72 malibu with
a 350/4bbl
and drive her daily.
thanks!
