Correct. Those air cleaners also came on the COPO Chevelle's too and my point of the pic is to verify that the cowl hoods didn't come on a 67 or 68 car but there are a lot of them showing up at the races with them on. I believe that's NHRA's point for enforcing this rule.

Nope, 1971 Challengers also as noted in the 1971 Dodge Dealer Data Book.

Re: 1969 camaro hood
 

How many cowl hoods for a Camaro has anyone seen with all the flapper/grille hardware in place as is theoretically required? :p

HOOD
Full stock hood including latches, hinges, springs, brackets, and
braces as originally produced must be retained. Hood openings
and/or hood scoops other than original equipment prohibited.
OEM hood openings must retain all flappers, grilles, hardware,
etc. as originally produced.

Re: 1969 camaro hood
 

I had a cowl hood on my '69 Camaro when I ran SS/JA and was flagged for not having the flapper or the solenoid.

I took an old idle stop solenoid and some metal and stuck it up in there to satisfy Greg X...so I could race.....

I bought the hood new from GM.....cost about $200 at the time...

Try to race in Division 3 without it. Travis Miller will send you packing in a heart beat, so will RedMan. In fact, Travis posted here to warn people not to show up without it.

Re: 1969 camaro hood
 

they have been checking for the flapper and assorted hardware since 1993 in division 1, believe me i know

Re: 1969 camaro hood
 

As mentioned on here before, NHRA allowed the cowl hood on all 69 Camaros for many years. Then someone filed a written protest at a race about the cowl hood on Dan Fletcher's Super Stock Camaro with the 350/255 engine. Due to the written protest being filed, they had no choice but to research the issue. The research they did found the 350/255 came only with a flat hood.

On a side note, I seriously doubt their research included stories from someones brother-in-law who had a neighbor that went to school with a cousin of a friend who thought he might have seen a cowl hood on a new 69 Camaro in a dealership that closed the following year.

Now that there's funny!

Re: 1969 camaro hood
 

This is getting to be a real laugher. Did the NHRA ever enforce the spoiler option on 1967 camaros as there was no option ....D80... in 1967.
I was going through a few pictures on the photo gallery and noticed a very nice 1967 Camaro in B/S with the front and rear spoilers and the pictures were posted in 2009. Is th
is legal in the year of the photo or just wasnt addressed at that time. ...... And they are concerned about the solenoid on the flapper valve on a cowl hood.
I dont want to cause no problems...... if you want to look at the car you can pm me.
