<HTML>Hi Pat,,,Now your comments spark me to recall,,,Carl said to put the paint thinner on the hood than the rest of the car,,,The turn of century varnish was maybee more pourous,thus venting the vapor from the wood and stuff below,,,I think the vent flap is open more to keep clean air in the firebox for startup,,,The Black car prefers to be in motion as I open the main burner valve,,to get a breath of fresh air,,Question,,,, Did the old firewall shield fit the hood outline,, and was it foreward enough to allow air to come up BEHIND IT ,, and go out by the hinge,,,,Just a thought,,,,,Thanks for the description,,that helps looking at the problem a lot,,,,Cheers Ben</HTML>
