The hoodscoops on these cars don't do anything except let heat Out of the engine bay.
The Big hole in the front literally scoops so much air that it forces air out of the scoop while you are driving. The only way a scoop works is if the carb(s) are totally sealed to the underside of the hood separate from the engine. There are some nice examples on this site, just can't find one at the moment.
