RE: 78 Monte Cowl Hood
yes they make them i cant remember the company but i had one they come with different size cow els also think you can get them from 2" up to 6" Mine was a 4" cowl and i want to say i found it in street rodders int eh back with the rest of the hoods also you can get certain year Malibu parts to include the hood and front fenders but you have to fit them a bit.
Call around to some of the hood places that you can find ads for and ask them about it I know they are out there you might also check out Summit racing they might have them and some of the resto parts catalogs might have a link on their web sites also.
I didn't pay more them 200.00 for mine shipped to the door. but UPS was how it got there.

the idea behind them is to give you a more dense charge of air because they allow the air to come off the back of the hod instead of the front across ed the motor. Mine happen to do that and also gave me Clarence for the carb to fit under my hood with out sucking the hood down to the throat of the carb. that gives you no air flow and can really hurt your motor,
so in short they look good and have a function or two also.
true cowl inductions were on the old camaros and and others .But would open a door when you hit the gas to allow a cold air charge to come threw and allow the car to have a better air flow. also the looked mean when they opened up.they are god for more performance they work similar to a forced air induction system .
