Was 1970 the only year of Duster that the dual snorkel scoop was NOT an option?

Don't hate me because i'm beautiful
They never were an option on a Duster from the factory.
A lot of cars had them dealer or self installed.
Too bad, they looked good...

AH OK, so just the raisin bran 2 scoops were OEM? Maybe that's what I'm thinking of. Were THEY ever an option on a 70?
I don't think so. They came out in 72? on the Dart Sports. A the 71's had dual scoops.

The dual snorkel scoop was first offered as a factory option only on '72 Demons and continued only on Dart Sports in '73 and possibly '74. I bought one off of a confirmed '73 318 Dart Sport that had the hood stripe option with it.
1970 Duster never had a performance hood option. They were only available with a flat factory hood on all models.

I knew about the Canadian-only, very low production 340 Swingers but wasn't aware of their hood scoop options!

A functional, well designed scoop that looks good on just about anything, including later Aspens & Volares.
I had a dart years ago that had a burned 340 hood on it. I put twin scoops on it and swapped sides so they leaned outward to covere the warped hood when painted.
I had a triple black 74 Dart Sport 360 with the dual snorkel hood scoop from factory. Also had a triple black 75 Dart Sport 360 without the scoop.

An old Direct Connection book I have shows holes. But I wasn't sure if it was showing how it was, or what you should do. Thanks again guys! Gene.

It’s an eBay special. Took quite a bit of work to make it presentable. It’s not perfect but fits the style of my 20 footer.

In 1977-79 ish I went to Clearview Dodge and was going to order the 2 separate scoops like belong on a Duster. Then parts guys talked me into the single type scoop like used on Demon and Dart Sport. They did not use the one piece on those years Duster but had a factory part shaped to the 1970-71,72 hoods. I put a big hole ya gotta feed the beast of a 225ci engine

I used to talk with Fritz who owned 1st Place Auto Parts and he sent me a prototype Dart Sport one for fitment on a 1973-76 Hood. since he needed to do like factory and make 3 shapes one for early Duster, Demon, Dart Sport hood. My car never came with one or did it come with hood black out, but added it and holes for a mean look
