They are basically independent of each other. The inner door stays closed when the engine is off. When engine is running the inner door opens when the gas pedal is pressed down.
The outer door stays open when engine is off since it's vacuum controlled. With engine running vacuum pulls it closed, mash the pedal, vacuum drops and door opens.

I forgot about the inner door. Somewhere I have a copy of a cowl build sheet. It is not anything I found in my car. But it does say something like "SS cowl hood". I don't remember exactly. The guy that sent it to me said a functional cowl hood was not offered on a non SS car. I would rather use the untouched throttle pedal switch that is still intact as an indicator instead of the title even. Titles can be changed at tag offices.
