OHIO, USA	I just posted the photos above because I had them not because they are right or wrong but I noticed that the black is not to the scoop insert edge on the photos I posted. I think I have seen some to the edge so that brings up the question; "which is correct"?.....................hate doing that but I never noticed that before, sorry. Wish there was a factory drawing because I would like to add it to my '68 rr, always liked that blackout. I ordered my '69 rr in '69 with the flat black stripes cause it was cool so was the '68.

That made the scoops themselves as the outer edge of the patern...does that make sense??? Jim 5952981-DCP02766-Copy.JPG (44 downloads)

Measuring straight from the front, you can see that the angles meet in the center. It's basically a pentastar, which is kind of amusing.
