Correct Cowl Air Vent for my 1965 Mustang?
« on: March 07, 2014, 11:20:08 PM »
I need a cowl air vent for my 11/5/64 built, non A/C Mustang and can't find a source that tells / shows me what it should be. In addition, the used and reproduction vents that I have found are advertised as being correct for both 65 and 66 cars. Can someone help me determine what the correct vent is for my car? Thanks.

The vent used for your 65 has a plastic grille at the end,
in 66 they didn't use the grille, it was all metal.
Here is a picture, I have a few extras, if you are interested
leave me a pm.
