hemi dart hood scoop

something does'nt sound right. my 67 valiant had a 340 with airgap and a holley, no spacer, and with a low pro air cleaner and my hood closed fine. one possible difference is the solid mounts i'm using. not sure if they measure out the same as stock mounts. i had a hemi dart scoop on mine and i hated it. if i HAD to use a scoop for clearance i think the valiant would look better with the 64 superstock scoop, the contours are pretty close to matching the hood on 67-68 vals with the weird depression down the middle. imho
