I recently picked up an NOS Moroso lightweight hood for a first Gen Camaro. It has a 7” high scoop. The part number is 7929. It’s really kewl…..I have it on display in my garage.

I had a lot of people on Facebook comment on it!!!

I'd like to find one of these too. I had a tunnel ram on my car for about a month, but I couldn't find a hood, so I took the TR off and went back to the single 850. Speedway has this one. I wonder how close it is to the Moroso hood scoop. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Pro-S...x-7,39242.html

Anyone know if there is a source for these hood locks ? I put a set on my '70 SS Chevelle after people stole my battery and tried to get the carb too in 1974. I thought the hood looked cleaner with these than the pins...

If those don’t work out for you call bill foss at driving image in Unionville CT , he’s been in the aftermarket parts business forever. He used to run a PCA years ago in the 80s he’ll know who made them and if they still do.

I've got a set of them somewhere. I was going to use them on my hood, but then I didn't trust them to keep it closed and went with pins.

If you happen to find them, Freddie, I'd be interested buying them, if you want to sell.

That’s got to be an old hood I dont think moroso has been in a Greenwich Cf in a long long time, they are in north haven or Branford or something

The typical set up was a pan that went under the carbs w a seal to the hood around it

I did pick up a vintage scoop, I'll eventually work with Glasstek to fab up a bolt-on hood for my car.

The locks are likely cal custom
. They pop up NOS from time to time.
