Topic: 34 Roadster cowl vent screen

  Where can I find a cowl screen? It is triangular one with the long side being concaved to fit.

  I think that you would be unhappy if someone sold you a triangular screen. The original had five sides and was/is a pentagon.

  I suspect that you won't find a screen for it .
It sounds like ( as I do ) you have a 1933 early 1934 cowl vent . These vents did not have a screen. Also the convex bulge in the cowl flap precludes fitting the later 1934 screen which has a straight long edge

  Yes, I’m sure you are correct. So for Grand National showing a screen was not standard and shouldn’t be there. A second question based on the build time what champion plugs
would have been used. Thanks in advance.

  Every 1934 Ford that I've owned had a screen.

1934 Ford's since 1972

  The Champion 7 spark plug (40-12405-C) was released for production use on 2-20-1934. Prior to that time the Champion C-7 plug was used on V8 engines.

Of the six '34s I've owned two had the carryover '33 cowl vent and therefore no screen.
