Got the cowl vent working, the hinges were rusted solid, found this the other day. They were so solid I didn't think it was a moving part, thought the hinges bolted to these "brackets" under the dash. :P So I had to heat them up red hot to get the rust loosened up so they would move. I have to tell you, I miss the cowl vent while driving down the road, I use to love opening it up, can't wait to do it again!
