The outer door stays open when engine is off since it's vacuum controlled. With engine running vacuum pulls it closed, mash the pedal, vacuum drops and door opens.
I forgot about the inner door. Somewhere I have a copy of a cowl build sheet. It is not anything I found in my car. But it does say something like "SS cowl hood". I don't remember exactly. The guy that sent it to me said a functional cowl hood was not offered on a non SS car. I would rather use the untouched throttle pedal switch that is still intact as an indicator instead of the title even. Titles can be changed at tag offices.
