A/C

could a scoop on the cowl Air intake have an affect on the AC ? It’s turned with the opening towards the windshield.

 

It's been in the aftermarket for many years as a cowl scoop. Claims to "increase the efficiency of your heater and air conditioner and improve airflow through your vents" which is possible but probably works better at keeping mud and debris out. Can be a nice finishing touch.

 

Would it matter which way it is turned ?

 

My Father had one on his CJ7 and he turned it around to face forward.
I don't recall if it made a difference or it there wasn't a significant enough change to worry about changing it back.

 

Thanks

 

Turned toward the windshield is reminiscent of the old muscle car cowl induction hoods. But it's optional either way.

 

But I like Ram Air better...
