Hood Mystery Resolved
Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2004 8:13 pm
Finally got a chance to do some exploratory surgery on my '67. The hood is in worse condition than I presumed, but that's neither here nor there.
I was worried because it appeared that the holes that held the dogleg in place on the front casting wouldn't even come close to lining up. Turns out that I was worrying for nothing... I was trying to line the doglegs up with the wrong set of holes!!! D U M A $ $...
I missed the correct holes because they were filled up by twisted off studs. If anything, the doglegs are sitting too LOW.
Anybody know how long the dogleg bolts are? I think I can drill them out and tap them to 1/4", but it looks like they go straight into the lower radiator cavity.
