The correct hood for any '69 Chevelle with a 396 is the Super Sport hood, as the 396 was only available with the Super Sport option. -Al

I was under the impression that the only way to get a 295/350 in 67-69 in Camaros and 68-69 Nova was as part of the SS package. In the Camaros the 275/327 and 255/327 were available and in the Nova was 275/327 and 325/327 but you couldn't gat any of those packages in a SS.

Who cares if louvers are vented or closed, if they are part of the "correct hood" for the combination/class being run, they are supposed to be on that car!

I could not run SS/JA with my combo at the beginning of 2015 because I did not have the louvered hood, which made my car an IROC or Z28. The louvers are non functional, just cosmetic. But, that's the proper hood so I bought one so I could legally run that class.

And so did Lincoln and myself ..... That's when I found out how much paint had went up since the last time I purchased it .. over a thousand bucks in PAINT ... For a hood that won't pick ya up a nickel ..
