Okay, so now a 68 295 hp could have either type?
I don't remember the build date on my example, so I can't debate that one.

It appears that Tony is correct on this one.

Thank you Tony, and yes you are of course correct. Seems when the Whale qualified in the bottom half (at the drivers discretion) while winning 14 national events all those years ago no one paid any attention ! Now the key board jockeys can move on and look for some new bull **** to dissect.

Glad someone else brought this up! I'm building a 396/375 for my 69 and really don't want to spend 600 on a hood and then try to match 20 year old paint if I don't have have to. I noticed the lack of 'Super Sport' being defined in the guide for 69. Has anyone other than Tony had personal experience?

So if I replace the 327 in my 67 camaro with a 350 I need to change to the SS hood? I am sure I have seen 67-68 350 cars running a plain flat hood.
How about vinyl graphics of the fake louvers?
Now that I think about it my 67 has SS emblems on the grille and gas cap and I run a 327. I know this stuff use to matter, but now?
