no this may help S10 but read what i did have the hood off the car and if you know any thing about a 50 chevy they are a bitch to get the hood off when it all black and shiny this thing has hood spring from hell and hook to the bottom of the cowl and catch at the top of the spring i made a tool for this. i lost all my friends on this . you my be rigth but this car is way way to nices to jack the back of the hood up and there is no way it will work on the 50 chevy hinges they are not like the gm newer hood hinges heat will need to come out and i know heat will rise but i think of this like a box with to small of a hole in front like a pice of plywood in front of your rad. i do not know? so i think it may need some louvers in the inners just not to sure this is. the way to go by it. the cowl i have a lot of places for hot air to get out but the air under the car may not let the air out of the hood to slow air speed that is why i put the air dam on it and did not work thanks for bouning it off you guys more cool air in the carbs is what i think is what i need to help .with the super heated air so some more air in were it is not running thur a hot rad is what i need have lived with it this way for 4 years just not ready to start cutting in to it when i spent all the time pluging all the holes :
