Hood Scoops.

Sully, I had a '67 Camaro SS with a small block 350. Sometimes, the rain would pool around the hood where the distributor was and cause water to drip onto the coil and the car would not start. I wonder if your parents Camaro hood was the type that opened towards the windshield.

Perhaps. Theirs was a 71. I'll check pictures of it next time I go by their house.
