the early cars had the shock, I have #98 and it has one. I was told to remove it and take it to AutoZone, etc. and they could match it. I also have heard they were never very good and the hood would slam when the wind blows.

Being a good KY hillbilly, I found that a small twist adjustable curtain rod works great as a prop rod. The have rubber feet on each end, and can be adjusted to use where you want under the hood. Also available in multiple finishes.
