Does anyone have a measurement for mounting this factory style scoop on a 73 Duster. I think the only measurement I need is from the back of the hood to the back of the scoop itself, Im assuming it was centered side to side so if I have the measurement from the back it should be an easy install. Hopefully

Since it was NOT a factory option, there is really no factory correct way.
For my Duster, I merely centered it over the air cleaner. I have no exact measurements. I also made sure that I was able to fit the "340 Wedge" decal.

I could have swore it was offered as a option in 73' but not after that...

Not to be a know it all, but did you look under the hood to see if there were holes already cut out of the sub frame? My 71 had those already there, all I had to to do was drill back up from the bottom to center it.

Darts and Dusters appear to have similar underhood bracing. At least many of the extra holes are in the same place. If your scoop comes with studs already installed, they "should" line up with holes in the bracing along the centerline of the hood underside. But double-check the measurements because the framework and/or holes can be off by just a little bit. Once you get the first two holes located and drilled, the rest are easy to mark and drill. Some frame holes may require trimming if the stud is off center so you can get a socket in there.

There were also 2 scoop part #'s because the Demon hood was mostly flat while the Dart Sport had a little peak. Depending what scoop you have will determine how well it fits/follows the flatter Duster hood.

No Dusters ever had that scoop as an option from the factory. Only '72 Demon, '73 Dart Sport and I'm not sure about '74 Dart Sport. I even got a hood/scoop assembly off of an original '73 318 Dart Sport, so it didn't have to be a 340 car.
