The real question is why you want one on a 79. Unless you have a top mounted intercooler they are not necessary. A hoodscoop can limit cooling flow through the radiator and increase friction drag. They are great on V8s with airfilters in the flow.

You could use a hood scoop for cold air intake. Thats ifn you have a carby. You can cut a 3" diameter hole on the side of your air cleaner assembly and route the hode up through the scoop. But than you'll have to find a way to keep the hose in place...i suggest...clotheshanger wire and duct-tape.

Go to the sticky on the forum plus do a search. Try the Corksport website from the vendors sticky. Be ready to budget $5,000-7,000 if you want it done properly.
