I know that the 70 hoods used a 5/16 bolt with a 1/2 head.
Are the upper part of the hinges that bolt to the side of the hood supposed to have a 5/16 slot or a 3/8 slot?

I know later hoods used a 3/8 bolt 9/16 head.

My hood has the correct bolts, but I seem to remember the slots only fitting that sized bolt in 70.

Why I am asking - I purchased a set that are a take off from a 70 Challenger low mileage car that sat FOREVER. 99.9% sure these are ones installed at the factory.
they have a 3/8 slot not 5/16



Thanks in advance.
