Well said! BTW,where did you get the hood scoop/tach combo you are referring to?

Maybe the mayor and I aren't talking about the same scoop, because the tach face sure looks like a standard 8 grand Dixco to me.

Can't wait to see pics of it on a Deuce!

...and with all you wi$ea$$es out there, it's T -30 seconds until the caption writing contest to starts on this one.

Kid, I think you're right. They're not the same. What I have is different. This on came off a rebel machine. I had looked for the setup at swap meets and found a few but not complete. Was talking to Marlin about it and he mentioned he had the whole setup. So we cut the deal. I had hoped to put it on the infamous yellow/rust Pa. deuce, but that's not gonna happen. So we just cut a hole in my old yellow deuce hood and bolted it on.

Hum... sounds like someone is gearing up for the 2nd annual Deuce shootout at SCR8.

It's definitely looking like a different scoop was used on the Rebel Machine.

Here's a link for several other shots. Rebel Machines Now I assumed the Rebel and the Jeep Commando got the same scoops being that they were both AMCs being prepped by Hurst, but it looks like this isn't necessarily the case. Hmm...

this seems to bring only more confusion. The Commando scoop looks like it has one big opening on the front, versus the split twin openings on the Rebel type, while Yenko's Deuce protoype has no opening at all and doesn't really appear to have provisions for making an opening. We may be looking at 3 completely separate tach/scoop combos here. This doesn't really clear up what Yenko used at all, I just assumed the Yenko scoop would have the Dixco type tach face being that the "regular" hood tach was a standard issue 8 grand Dixco unit...any thoughts?

I still lean towards a prototype of some sort on the brochure car, but now I'm not sure if it's a Rebel, Jeep, or mystery Dixco prototype! Cool pics of the Jeep version though, I had never seen that version b4
