Very Nice Olympiads. I Have seen these before. Just never realized what they were. Out old 86 ranger had one. Never knew it was controlled by wax. Pretty neat idea. I still might go with the door actuator. It seems like cutting apart an air box intake from a junk yard might not be worth it. I'm already going to need a custom inlet and tubing, modifying an oval shape inlet would probably make it more complicated.
Quick quest for you all, a scan gauge gives air intake temperature correct? I've been thinking about trying to rig up a circle for this as well. Maybe utilize a water temp sensor in the heat conducting pipe. Or using something else like an air temp sensor hooked up to a voltmeter. I've got a few ideas running around, and honestly I think the watertemp sensor in the intake pipe would give me a clue as to what temp is being pulled off the exhaust.
