Would driving on a rainy day with an open shaker be ok? I mean, im sure people did when they were open from factory.

A little water is bound to get in with an open shaker, since even if you have a screen, it's not going to keep water out. But it doesn't seem to cause a problem. I do have a 79 with an open shaker and have driven it in the rain, once in a hard downpour on the interstate, and had no problem. Believe or not, a little water in the fuel/air mix actually runs good. There is such a thing as water injection for example.
I've had my shaker opened up since 1980, other than the occasional rain at a car show, don't drive it in the rain. I think these cars were meant to have an open shaker, I just wish I didn't cut up the orig, but thats the way it is. nice shaker there Aussie, the flange inside is meant for that. heres mine, just black screen. Ahhhh Woodward........

Yo GammoHavent you got a vid showing the shaker flap opening and closing?Imho you get the best of both worlds with this mod..when parked at shows or when it really buckets down you have the flap closed for that uncut look,then when driving a flick of a switch and listen to that beautiful sucking noise
