Default Correct shape of 427 hood scoop?
I have noticed a lot of variation in the shape of the opening of the rivet-on hood scoop for the 427 cars.
Some have a curve in the leading edge of the horizontal surface, others are straight across.
Some have a forward taper to the vertical sides where they meet the hood; some are more vertical.
Some have a lip that extends into the opening; others do not.
I don't care how many rivets hold it on - how's it supposed to be shaped? What is correct?
