Most of the aftermarket 6pak hoods don't have as much underhood reinforcement as a real one.(more clearance)
Gkent's vfn looks like just what you need.
Edit: notice there is a relief for his Aircleaner in the rear brace.
For what it's worth...
Most aftermarket 6pack hoods have a taller scoop (towards the rear of the scoop) than the factory hood had.
You could try Sled City fiberglass. Larry might be able to do something custom for you. He might have to start with a 68 hood.
I tried to recover $17,000 stolen (escheated, heavy on the cheat part) by the state of California.
NOTHING done on the internet works properly, and I can't talk to a human.
I guess a 300 mile trip into LA is in order.
Could be worse. Only other office is in Sacramento.
Too bad it doesn't have the factory mounting cup. (In dash wouldnt).
I'd make a bracket off those two mounting studs to bolt it to an existing A-pillar screw, like Triple green (and i)said.
My dad used to keep a Phillips screwdriver under the hood, to take off the taillight lens.... where he kept a spare key. Sometimes just kept a key on his ring with a point on it that would work on a phillips screw.
The idea doesn't work with newer cars nowadays.
If you have 1 quart in the converter, I'd put in another six quarts, fire it up to circulate it thru the trans, converter, cooler and lines.
Shut it off after a minute or so and check the dipstick. Add I qt at a time , refire, until the level shows on the dipstick.
For what its worth......
These are the balls I referenced in 5239. My boys love em, and I love the fact that I have never found a single piece of them missing. My guys chew on them, we play tugawar with them, they fight over which one is theirs, Cudabug has learned how to carry and chew two of...
Sealer on the head bolts, ceramic sealer in the water jackets, run it. Just don't put a lot of money into it that isn't recoverable. (Heads and intakes can be re-used, sold)
I'd re-route the cooler line.
My perspective is probably not right, but it looks like you'd have to grind away a lot of the shifter arm.
If that's correct, I wouldn't do it.
My grandfathers 1950 Plymouth had the emblem on the front of the hood mounted upside down from the factory. I was the first one to notice as I was washing it for him, sometime in the mid sixties. He traded it in at the local claremont Chevy dealer for a new 67 Belair.
About twenty years later...
Law in California requires oxygenated fuel. Alcohol is not required, but it's what the oil companies use to meet the rules.
The only non-alcohol fuel in california that I know of is non-street legal leaded race gas. (Oops, not counting Avgas)
I do know of a station that sells 100 octane...
