Let me see, do I want a flat hood with the battery up front, or a scoop with the battery in the trunk? Tough decision.

There were NO scoops in 1966 on anything, NONE-NEVER WAS!!! In 1967 Mopar offered a scoop and battery in trunk on the hard top body not a post/sedan style and it was a super stock only combo!!!

Re: '69 Camaro hood

Concerning the hood scoop on the mopars. In 1967 Dodge offered a WO-23 package and Plymouth offered a RO-23 package. Both cars were plain jane "B" bodies with the Super Stock race hemi engine, hood scoop, and battery in the trunk. Neither of these two cars fit in Stock eliminator. I have a listing through Chrysler tech bullitins of every mopar to leave the factory with a hood scoop. There was never a hood scoop offered or placed on a 1966 anything. When I saw the stock classification guide stating the hood scoop was legal in 66 and 67, I immediatly contected nhra and asked them how they could say something was legal when it was never made, the 1966. Then I asked them how is the 1967 legal for Stock when it was a Super Stock package only. I am still waiting for an answer.
