Questions...my internal airbox thermostat/flapper was halfway broke. I broke it all the way...anyways, after breaking it, I thought I better remove it and the hot air intake hose from the manifold. In doing so, I now have somewhat of a forced air intake from the front of the car and an open hole on the bottom of the air box now. Should I plug the hole (where the hot air intake was)? Do you think it is robbing air from my front forced air intake? Or does air intake not really matter on an '81 245? It's gonna suck what it needs to suck, right? If more air is better, should I hole saw some holes in the airbox? Anyways, I want airflow...maybe a cone conversion? If anyone wants to comment, thanks.
