need measurements on 69 b-body

[yalpngulp]

I am trying to work on a piece for my n96 ramcharger hood to use with a 440 and a single 4 barrel. I need measurement to locate the carburetor placement on the hood. If somebody could give me measurements from the inner fenders to the threaded rod on the center of the carburetor and also from the edge of the cowl where the hood meets when it's closed to the same point. I would appreciate it. The red, blue and green lines in the Picture Show the reference points. Thanks in advance!!

G (passenger side) = 24 3/4"
R (rear) = 14 1/8"
B (driver side) = 27 7/8"

NOTE: (1) It's hard to get closer than 1/16" measurements with the hood hinges in the way. (2) The engine placement side to side can vary quite a bit depending on your engine mounts etc. So, give yourself some extra room or just wait until you install your engine if it is that critical.

I just found a template kit from a vendor I have used a lot to mark a flat hood for conversion to ramcharger/N96 hood.

I have solid Moroso mounts in my 69 Road Runner.
G (passenger side) 25 1/4"
R (rear) 15 1/16"
B (drivers side) 27 3/4"

Interesting how much my measurements vary from themechanic's.

Well it's because your car is 3/8" wider

I should hold out to see if anyone else chimes in with measurements so I can at least get an average.

Some possible variables in this equation.......... a Plymouth B vs. a Dodge B (your two examples so far)

Also I wonder about different intakes and different carbs as well? And of course as said previously, the motor mounts could make some difference as well.
