Dictionary, duct tape: applied to Matts Duster hood so he and his 6 pak hood can go racing. Once applied guaranteed not to be removed, even when you want it to. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

You are not the type of guy that is easily defeated. Most guys would have dropped the car off at someones shop with the hood still in a cardboard box and tell them to install it and come back in a few days to pick up THEIR car. I know for a fact it feels a lot better at least for me knowing I did it, not someone else. Keep up the great work and keep doin what your doin. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I bought the medium height spring and an adjusting tool. Make the hood fit with perfect gaps etc. etc. Then figure where the spring mount will fit along the fender. Lay the hood back in place and masking tape a line down each side of the hood. Measure off the fender edge and mark the masking tape. Then you can drill the hood for the fastener. I never broke the fastener but, have bent the spring. WD40 is a good freind of DZUS. I'll bet you need at least 10 dzus fasteners maybe more. My hood has a Three down each side along the fender. One on each side the cowl. Two on the front corners of the cowl. That aint enough. My hood has small cracks where the cowl begins. And the cowl hood handles wind a lot better than the forward facing scoop hoods. Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

Didn`t know about using the spring in the fender bracket to fine tune the depth for the zeus locking mechanism so I ordered up more springs and locks which I`ll get next week. Break time since I`m playing tonight and my fingers and hands are butchered up pretty good so thankxx again.............I figure the $40.00 I screwed up is WAY cheaper than other lessons I learned........... 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....
