Re: Question on Hoods
I worked in a GM Dealership Parts Dept. The parts book showed both in the diagrams. The louver difference was early and late production. I wish I still had my old parts book that I could scan. I think the change was in Mar of 68
And after I typed this I read the difference was Big Block vs Small Block Cars. But my parts book did not read that way. Last edited by Wayne W; 04-04-2017 at 11:06 PM. |

So, only way to get a 350 or 396 in 67 , is as an SS, right? Jim Hawkins would have to change the hood to run a 350..At least it used to be that way. Today, who knows?
