Not trying to cause a slap-fest, but I find it hard to believe Chrysler caulked the scoops; especially on cars where they spent so much effort on lightweight stuff, eliminating undercoating & seam sealers, etc.

Unfortunately the last original-paint A990 car I've seen was too long ago.

I'll check with someone who had one new and post that info later.

Be aware that there were 2 different shapes for similar-at-a-glance Hemi scoops: some have a taller front opening and taper more quickly to the rear; those seem to be exclusive to the '65 10"/15" AWB cars when they had carbs, but may have also been distributed/handed down for others.
