Got the vents on it? 68s point up, 69s to the side.

It's the other way around , also a 68 hood is closed off under the scoop bezels , a 69 there are opening so if the car is equipped wit han Air Grabber the air can pass thru to the ductwork.
68 scoops will bolt onto a 69 hood . to put 69 scoops on a 68 hood you have to at minimum drill a few holes to clear screw heads on the scoops themselves.

On a related subject, is there a difference between the scoops and vents for a 69 hood with or without the air grabber set up? I picked up some this summer in a deal and noticed there was a difference in the screen pattern. Not being fluent in RR's I never thought of that detail. I did make sure she got the set for her 68 though.
yes and no , the scoops are the same, no air grabber has a ribbed solid block off plate ... for it's pleasure ... air grabber has a screen .

Don't worry about stirring the pot! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif) I just remember a "spirited" debate last time this came up and was looking forward to the sequel! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif) Dave

ok, I think I'm understanding it,a 68 with the side scoops out, can't see through, but a 69 you can. right?
Only if it has air grabber screens , otherwise it has a ribbed block off plate .

Didn't mean to stir up the pot. I will have to pull them off the shelf and look at them closer. If I remember right on one set the screens are diamond shape and the other set they are round. Maybe someone made a custom set.
I don't remember seeing different style air grabber screens , but you never know all depends on the vendor I suppose ?
