    Does Anybody Know How Far Forward From The Rear Of The Hood The Scoop Should Be? I Dont Want To Miss The Proper Spots For The Holes. This Is A Factory Scoop. Any Help Would Be Great! THANK YOU!!!!!

    I measured 1 7/8" in the center, from the back of the scoop to the edge of the hood.

    make sure you check from all sides for correct position....I just did this and I had no problems....just remember, measure twice, drill once.
    The holes you drill will go threw some of the hood supports.

    the picture in my sig. is not a comet scoop. the comet scoop is on my yellow car.

    The one on the black car is a topic of ridicule and pain for many years :D
    People say its a MOPAR scoop....but it is actually a modified 429 scoop. :evilsmile

    you can cut a hole in your hood, I did that on the yellow car when I put the scoop on, it decreased the engine temp by 15 degrees when cruising down the interstate.
