on the 82 hood there is a opening in the middle of the hood that lets in cold air from the front of the car .it has a rubber gasket that fits over the air cleaners on top of both tbs.remove the flap and you get cooler air from the outside of the engine bay.

Can someone point-out where this "flap" is on this 82 CE below for me?

So, discovery I made today while trying to troubleshoot issues with the wiring harness.... the under hood wiring appears to be from an 1982. I was looking at the "B" connector and none of the colors matched up with what was on the 81 wiring diagram. I had the 82, so I looked at that and they all match up! It explains why the wiring looked factory.... because it was! I am going to have to take a look at the interior wiring harness to see if it is 81 or 82... if it's 81, that might explain a lot as to why almost no electronics work.
