I have heard people mention it but haven't seen one.
I haven't swapped so the opening is directly over my
distributor on my 7A. I could probably make one easy
enough if I knew what it looked like. I thought about using
some 1/16" thick abs and cutting the shape on a cnc and mounting
it under the grate if anyone else needs or wants one I should be
making mine sometime in the next few weeks. If anyone has a
pic of a real one It would be greatly appriciated. smile.gif

The same thing I just added some slots.
I didn't have much time to work on it today.
My boss was out of town today also so I couldn't
ask him about the louvered material. I looked a little closer
at my bay with the grate off and everything is tucked up
behind so I just need something to slow down rain drops
while moving not block them completely. I almost think
if I made a shield toward the back of the hole, facing down
toward the engine it would stop water from hitting the valve cover
and distributor. On my car it would deflect onto the exhaust manifold.
I'll try to draw something on that in the next few days
