Re: 70 Chevlle rabbit ears ??
Are you talking about the hood stop bolts that are designed to keep the hood from going through the windshield in a front end accident?
They are about 2 1/2" long and are bolted into the top of the cowl.

I am talking about the little bracket that look like rabbit ears and are attached in the center top of the firewall and they stick out to touch the hood when it is closed on the chevelle.I will take a pic tonight at the car cruz PJ

Re: 70 Chevlle rabbit ears ??
Ok, that probably is for the radio equipped cars. It helps ground the hood to the car to help eliminate static.
Pretty sure it's with AM and AM/FM radios as well as cars equipped with 8 tracks.

Re: 70 Chevlle rabbit ears ??
BTW The hood ground was used on Novas too. However they only appear on the pre December 1969 cars. Mid year production change eliminated them. There is a Service Bulletin or Service News item on how to deal with customer complaints and what part number to install if needed.
I believe that the screech as the hood opened or closed cause more complaints than the static did. I researched this a few years ago, I just looked into this again since my BB is an early car this item is on my shopping list. Greg
