No AirGrabber?

[Dad's69RR]

My 69 did not have the AirGrabber option so what stops rain from pouring down into the engine compartment through the mesh in hood openings? Is there a flapper or something that should mount under hood?

There should be a ribbed metal blank under the mesh, but it's not water tight.

Non air grabber cars only had a solid ribbed metal plate instead of the screen mesh. Someone replaced them with the screens on your car. I did that to mine back in 69 to help it run cooler.

So I should just blank it off?

I would leave it as is as it's probably not a daily driver so the chances of you getting caught in the rain are slim. And even if you do, the rain will not hurt anything under the hood.
