I cannot find any schematics for the 1971 SS Cowl Induction setup w/ 350CI motor. I need all the schematics for the kick-down, valve relay, solinoid, etc. Can anyone help? Also any assembly diagrams that would help on the valve, assembly, and where exactly the solinoid, and valve relay mounts. Any photos/ scans, etc. Would greatly help me. I have been to 3 shows with my camera, and notebook in tow, and have yet to find a car with the Induction Hood.

Thanks guy's

I would spend the $20 and purchase the Assembly Manual for your car. I added Cowl Induction to my 70SS, and it was an invaluable resource for this conversion

I have now purchased the ass-manual, however, it contains no wiring diagrams.

Steve, if you don't mind the drive I will be at the Glendale Hts Show n Shine on July 20th. Sorry I don't have a camera to use, but I'll do what I can.

As I remember it:

The kickdown (switch at the gas pedal) is widely available - one wire to the tranny, one wire to the relay on the hood.

Don't know what you mean by the valve relay, I'm not familiar with that. If you mean the vacuum check valve, it mounts in-line between a manifold vacuum source and the exterior flapper door actuator.

The solenoid mounts inside the hood and actuates the internal flapper. Wired to the kickdown switch as mentioned above.

Again, if you feel like a drive, I can give you directions for July 20th - you're more than welcome to scrutinize where everything goes.

Thanks for the invite. I think I have all the info now. DZ Auto supplied me with the following, and I'm going to Big Jim's Sat. to view his '71 SS396 convertable w/ C.I. with notebook, and camera in hand.

Cowl Induction Wiring Harness:

DZ Auto say's:
There is a total of five parts for the complete elec portion of the CI system:
Wire harness (repo, its an excellent harness)
Gas pedal switch
Bracket for gas pedal switch (with screws)
Relay (and screws)
Solenoid (and screw)
First thing to do is install the wire harness through the firewall. The firewall has 2 square holes, one for the existing acclerator cable, and below that square hole is another square hole with a plug in it for the CI harness(remove the plug, if you have pwr brakes, the brake booster hides these holes). The CI harness has a round grommet to go into the square hole (I'm serious!) Feed the harness through the square hole (one pink, one tan wire and then 2 pink wires with connectors) and push the round grommet into the square hole.
If your car HAS a turbo 400, you already have the second and third parts (switch and bracket). The harness for the t-400 will have 2 pigtails at the switch, so you just plug the CI harness into those 2 pigtails (it doesn't matter which wire goes to which pigtail).
If your car DOES NOT HAVE a turbo 400, then you have to install the switch and bracket at the gas pedal. The bracket for the switch REPLACES the existing pedal shaft retainer (held in place by two screws) so that the switch can be installed. Then, plug the CI harness connectors to the terminals on the switch (2 pink wires with connectors, doesn't matter which plug connects to which terminal). Next, the pink and tan wires connect over at the fuse block. The pink wire connects to the IGN terminal and the tan wire just above it (the connectors/terminals are designed so that the connectors can ONLY go one way, thus, you cannot connect them wrong). The relay attaches to the firewall with screws and there is a double connector on the harness with pink/tan wires which will ONLY connect one way to the relay. The other tan wire connects to the third terminal of the relay and then goes up to the solenoid at the hood.
