Back when I had too much cash :( and not enough mechanical problems :| I purchased some hood seals, forward and cowl. Has anyone replaced these? I don't recall any of my Mopars ever having had them. Now I'm wondering if one might be better off not installing them, engine bay heat-wise.

All cars have hood-to-cowl seals, to keep underhood fumes and smells from being sucked into the passenger compartment thru the cowl air intake. Cars with A/C and heavy-duty cooling also have hood-to-radiator-support seals, so air flows thru the radiator, not overtop of it. Don't leave these seals off, it won't improve anything.

OK, they go on the car. They aren't doing much good in the drawer, I suppose.
