comet gt scoop location

for anyone who has a comet gt scoop on a plain maverick hood..can anyone tell me how far you mounted your scoop(the distance between the back edge of the hood,to the back of the scoop)?i like the scoop on mavaholics,and dmhines car.i just don't want to mount it too far forward.thanks for any and all help...chuck.

 

Are you using a repop or original?

The repop has studs at the very back of the scoop so unless you want to drill access holes in the rear underhood support area to get install the nuts on the studs you have to mount it further forward than the factory scoop. The factory scoop does not have studs in the back so it can overlap the support at the rear underside of the hood.

I mounted my repop as far back as I could without having to drill access holes in the support. The factory scoop sits maybe 1 inch or so from the back of the hood. My repop sits about 4 inches or so from the back of the hood ...

Make sense? Dan

 

thanks dan for the input.i am using an orig.gt scoop.just wasn't sure where to mount it,and didn't want it too far forward on the hood.

chuck.

 

I can measure mine, off the top of my head I would say it is about 1 - 1 1/4 inches from the edge of the hood. I have an original GT scoop on mine.

 

I put mine at 2" at the center of the hood near the cowl.

 

I dont have a GT scoop on my Sprint.

 

my bad,maybe i was thinking of an older pic that you posted.

 

Here is a picture ... Factory location on top ... my repop on the bottom ...
