about to install a cowl vent gasket on my 37 dodge sedan. there was no sign of an old gasket having been used for a few years so not sure how to install new one. does gasket fix to the top of the cowl or the underside of moveable vent? thanks

I did a few "dry fits" first to be sure I had the correct angle, the seal fit in the groove properly

I covered the paint with towels and laid in a thin bead of 3M weather strip adhesive.  See the yellow line down in there.

With the bead placed, I gently sat the rubber seal in position

Next, to ensure it seals nice, I placed the cowl vent cover over the new seal and checked my gaps all around.

Once satisfied with the position, I placed a little weight on it to allow it all to set nice and straight.

Where can I get a cowling vent gasket for my 1929 graham paige?

I got all my rubber parts from Steele Rubber.  Maybe some models will cross over for you
