Cowl induction hood question... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Question for all you guys running a cowl induction hood, can you remove/replace the cowl piece between the hood and windshield without removing the hood? It looks awfully tight and I don't want to scratch anything trying if it can't be done. Thanks in advance.

you could tape the living daylights out of the hood and fenders /etc or just pull the hood, it's 4 bolts.

I had to remove the hood - the cowl screws towards the center have very little clearance, making it near impossible to get a screwdriver in there. Once the hood is off you have all sorts of access to do the things you have been putting off because they were hard to reach.

X2, Very little clearance, but I was able to do it with a right angle screw driver but it is a PITA !!!

Thanks guys. I think I'm just going to pull the hood. The problem I'm having now is finding a nice antenna to put on the cowl. Until I find that, I can't do anything...
