I have a '71 Charger RT with a Ram Charger hood. Everything on the hood works as it should. My question is, how do you keep the Ram Charger door open with the engine off? Thanks for the help.
In other words.... you don't. The hood is designed to close when the engine is turned off.I have a '71 Charger RT with a Ram Charger hood. Everything on the hood works as it should. My question is, how do you keep the Ram Charger door open with the engine off? Thanks for the help.
Ah but you can. I see them up at car shows all the time. So that's why I'm asking how it's done Beeper.
Well, before I figured out how to connect all the hoses, I used to hold mine open with a spring I bought at the hardware store. If I remember correctly, I would connect it from the "cross bar" that holds the underhood flap, outside of the fiberglass box, as my "anchor" and attach the other end of spring to the lever arm near the vacuum actuator attached to the hood that operates that cross bar. Just look how it works under the hood and it's obvious. Hope this helps!Ah but you can. I see them up at car shows all the time. So that's why I'm asking how it's done Beeper.
I don’t use the solenoid on mine. Also removed the return spring from the actuator. So now, my AirGrabber door stay open when I shut the engine.
Then does it even close properly?
