They allow air to flow under the hood, which helps your carburetor breathe better--if the air reaches it through the air filter.

A hood scoop works in different ways. It funnels cool air from the outside of the engine compartment into the intake of the vehicle. Some say that they also compress the air before entering the combustion process, much like a super charger. This is incorrect. The cooler air is correct, but the compression of air and air density really have no effect in this case on a naturally aspirated engine.

Do hood scoops help cool fuel injected engines?

That depends on your scoop. There are cowl unduction scoops and hoods that help the heat escape toward the windshield using only the wind blowing through your radiator and from under the car. If you use a stick on hood scoop, you would of course have to cut the sheet metal of your hood and treat it to prevent rust, and of course create the duct work that goes to your air intake. This is an aggressive move for minimal gain on horsepower. Subaru's use hood scoops for cooling applications as they place a cooler/radiator under the scoop. Not an air intake.
