Demon and Dart Sport Scoop Location
When I bought my Dart, the underside of the hood still had it's original paint. It had the holes AND the gaskets in it. The car is a J54 Black-Out Hood with Scoop car. I have looked at several other J54 Darts at various Mopar shows all over from El Paso to the Nats and they all had the holes.
In 1972, 2 of the guys that I went to high school with bought new 340 Demons with the hood scoops. And they both had the holes in them. We even tempted fate by kidding Fat Wayne about somebody stealing parts off his car.
Fat Wayne bought a all black bench auto on the column.
Rick bought a bucket seat ,4 speed with A/C !
I thought I ran into Rick's car at the Nats in 05 when I saw it from a distance but this was not it. If you look really close under the hood, you can see the holes. I don't think that everybody that has a J54 hood would cut the same holes in the same place and I also don't think that Dodge would produce 2 different hoods for no reason.
I hope this helps in this discussion.
