Demon and Dart Sport Scoop Location

ok i have something for everyone to ponder. i don t mean to stir the pot, but.......... i read this HOLE thread (no pun intended), and i think there might be something you haven t caught. i just purchased a 72 demon 340 from the second owner. this car has the J54 hood package on it.(NO fresh air holes). i also know a guy who has a 72 J54 hooded car (No holes). there is one thing that i know these cars have in common. they both came with underhood insulation. this might be the whole reason that people are seeing both. i m not saying that it is for sure, but it does make sense. i have also seen 71 demons that have no fresh air holes in them but do have the scoops and are coded for them. i ve even seen an original MR. NORMS 71 gss demon that had the scoops, and the stripes, but no pinstripe around either stripe. and this car had 100% original paint and wasn t in bad shape. when it comes down to it,, i think the factory did a lot of strange things, and there s not always a reason for it. as far as the dusters not having scoops,, not sure. but i know i haven t seen very many with the scoop! whether they re legit or not. thanks mark
i know i shouldn't but hear goes......to me this is clearly a factory putting the wrong hood on and then putting the scoop on afterwards or the hood was sent out and then caught by the dealer and corrected before time of delivery. the fact it has underhood insulation makes me lean this way as the hoods would not have had this with the holes....this is why the parts book show 2 different hoods#'s 1 with the holes and 1 without.......
