Do you have to run the cowl hood w/ 350/300 ? I recall the debacle when some were running that hood on lower hp combos, didn't know you couldn't run higher hp combo with flat hood.

350/300 was base engine in SS Camaro. It should have either a cowl or a SS hood.

The ZL-2 hood was an option. Even the majority of the Z-28s built didn't get one. So I'm sure that the same applies for a 350/300. It would be interesting to see how many of those cars got the cowl hood. I have read that total ZL-2 production was around 10,000. That includes COPO, Z-28, and SS. Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in?

ZL-2 was a SS option but no SS would have had a flat hood. However, a Z-28 wasn't a SS and if it didn't have the ZL-2 option then it would have had a flat hood.
FYI, the ZL-2 option wasn't available until Jan.1, 1969.
