Template for 70-72 Swinger hood w/dual scoops
Here hopefully is some information for those looking to install the 2 single scoops at the right location on their hood. This is a template for measurements that were made from an original factory 70 Swinger 340 hood with the scoops. It is large, so it's hard to show close ups. The template starts at 6 3/8 inches in from the fender edge of the hood on the left side and 6 1/2 inches in from the fender edge of the hood on the right side. On the left side fender edge of the hood to the center of the outer rear mounting stud hole would be 12 inches. Same applies for the right side. Going from those holes perpendicular to the back edge of the hood would be 4 7/8 inches again to the center of the hole. The space between those same 2 outer most rear holes is 34 3/4 inches in width from center of hole to center of hole, side to side. The outer front holes are slightly oblong front to back and measure 38 1/4 inches in width from center of hole to center of hole, side to side. The functional scoop opening round holes are approx. 4 inches in diameter and from center of the hole to center of the hole, side to side, is 23 1/4. Measuring from the back edge of the hood in line with the rear inner mounting hole for the scoop stud going front from that back edge of the hood toward the front would be 22 1/2 inches to the center of the functional opening. Using these measurements should be enough to get the scoops in place, and then you can use the studs for marking correct placement of the other holes needed that have not been mentioned. If you have any questions, please post or PM. Glad to help.
