Which Hood?

451Mopar · Jul 15, 2018

On the 1969 Coronet R/T Convertible, I currently have the six pack style hood (steel hood with fiberglass scoop) on the car that I used when i had the RPM intake, Holley Carb, and tall air filter. I changed the Intake to Edelbrock XT EFI which can now fit under a flat hood.
The Hood that came (but car is not coded N96) with the car was the Dual Scoop Air Grabber setup. It looks nice, but I'm not sure it will fit with the under hood air grabber? I'm going to try it and see if it fits, but not sure. The car does not have side scoops if it matters?
I do have a correct bulge hood in primer that I could use. The inserts need to be restored, but it would be correct for the car and should fit with no issues.
Which Hood would you use? Sorry I don't have pictures of the car with the bulge hood.

definitely the Six Pack hood looks best.

The raisin bran hood looks more original to the car than the other two, being an R/T.

You might damage the airbox if the air cleaner is sitting much higher than stock. I would be doing some serious measuring before closing that Ramcharger hood. I think the bulge hoods look sharp too.

I like the look of the 6pak scoop, but looking at your car with the white interior and the white stripe, I don't think the satin black hood with the 6pak scoop goes as well as the body colored dual scoop hood. Just my opinion.

All comes down to what type of look you are going for. I think they all look good, but just prefer the dual scoops with your color scheme.

They both look good. The 6 pack hood looks tougher. Bulge hood would be fine. All look good on a 69 Coronet body style.

I agree, I like both. I personally like the six pack hood the best but for your car with the white I think the dual scoop hood looks the best for you car.

I like them both. If you were going for an all stock look, the N96 hood with scoops would be best. Seeing it with the aluminum rims I like the six pack hood a bit better. Tough call either way.

If I had a vote, I'd say keep the six pack hood. I LOVE those hoods.....and couldn't you make it functional? (if it isn't already)

You can’t go wrong, all 3 look great.
