Hi all,
The PO included an extra hood when I bought my 1971 Satellite (as in 1st pic, below). Was this hood available on Satellite, Roadrunner and GTX? And is it the hood I would use if I wanted to install an air grabber kit (2nd pic)? Thanks for any info.
Roger Yes , the base 71 satellite hood was used to make the 71 air grabber hood.
running up my post count some more .

To answer your original question, the Air Grabber was not available on Sattelites - only on RR or GTX models.

Thanks, Joe I do not believe the 360 was available until late 73 or 74 which would have been after the air grabber had stopped being used. It could be that he had a 71 Air Grabber and someone replaced the 340 with a 360. Or maybe as time progressed the size of the engine got confused.

an AIRGRABBER hood isn't just a flat Satellite hood with the insert added
the top sheetmetal is the "flat" hood & the inner sheetmetal is from a "bulge" hood Thanks for clarifying. I guess I made a bad assumption when I saw the air grabber and bulge kits that are offered for sale.
