Will A NASA Hood Bolt Up and Work On....
My 1975 Lemans Safari Wagon?? I always thought that one would look good on my '75 Lemans Safari Wagon but I want to make sure all the bodylines from the hood to the car lined up before I started chasing this goose.
Thanks Fellas!

i've got one with some rust along the outer edges. it comes attached to a 74 g/am that needs floors but has other good parts.
i've been thinking of sectioning the induction area into a g/p hood like another member did. mike

Hey Josh- I'll bet you a cup of coffee that you're talking about an NACA scoop- the unique air duct shape developed in 1945 by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. NASA == National Aeronautics & Space Administration... ain't no air in outer space!

"On 1 October 1958, the 170 people in Headquarters gathered in the courtyard of their building, the Dolly Madison House, to hear Glennan proclaim the end of the 43-year-old NACA and the beginning of NASA."
"The NACA ceased to exist on October 1, 1958. It was succeeded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which was formed largely in response to Soviet space achievements. NACA became the nucleus of the new agency, and all NACA activities and facilities were folded into NASA. The major focus became space research, but aeronautics would remain as the first "A" in its name." As far as I am concerned, either is correct based upon the above statements...

My manuals are parts manuals for the '73 model year...the kind the dealers had behind the parts counter, with exploded views, etc.
All say NACA. I guess this is comparable to Cape Canaveral/Cape Kennedy (LOL).

NACA is correct . It is named after the scoop design. It has nothing to do with the US space program.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NACA_duct I also agree it should fit |

No, read the link that you posted. NACA was the name of the governing organization (at that time) that developed the scoop. However, NACA was the original name of what became NASA (name was changed, but the focus of their work remained much the same), and so the terms are often used interchangably.

"The NACA duct or NACA scoop is a common form of low-drag intake design, originally developed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics in 1945. "
I am not debating that the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics later became NASA. I am stating that the duct in the hood is called a NACA duct, not a NASA duct. Thus the hood being called a NACA hood. Thanks |
