I'm pretty sure my aar cuda had the seal attached to the cowl and it sealed to rib on the underside of the rear of the hood. I've never removed the seal, but I always figured it had some sort of plastic "tree" that you push into holes in the top of the cowl. Now e-bodies have hidden windshield wipers, so they have a broad area to locate the seal. A-bodies have old style wipers, so they have a much shorter "step" on the cowl on which to locate the seal, and the question is if there is a hood rib to seal against if it is located there.
