Finally getting down the punch list on my car, and cannot find any templates or measurements for the hood squirter holes on an AAR.

Could someone take some accurate measurements from their AAR hood on distance from the edge of hood and to the back of the hood for both left and right nozzles? Or know where to find a copy of the factory engineering diagram?

I've also got the washer hose tee to mount, but looks like I can get it roughly placed based on some of the underhood pictures available.

Thank you for any assistance!

The following are the dimensions I measured off of my original 70 AAR Cuda hood.  From the side of the hood to the centerline of the hole is 12.12 inches (12 1/8").  From the rear of the hood to the centerline of the hole is 6.00 inches (measured by allowing the tape measure to follow the contour of the hood).  See attached photos.  Let me know if you have any questions.

@Gary AAR  Fantastic, Gary!  I've been looking to get these in place for several years and your measurements were critical! :worship:

As a second ask, and as a double check prior to drilling, could you get the distance between the two nozzles?  With the measurements you provided, they seem like they are centered.

Next up- careful marking and even more careful drilling! (What could possibly go wrong, right?)

Just a note.  I keep getting PM's sent to Gary AAR.  I'm just plain Gary.  And sometime when I'm down in the Des Moines area, would love to check out your AAR.  Hope to get started on ours this winter.

Tried to measure the distance between the two nozzles, but because of the contours of the hood I could not get a consistent measurement.  I did measure the distances I gave you earlier on both sides, and they were the same.  Also took a couple of more photos of the underside of the hood, showing the nozzles on both sides.

@Gary - If you're ever planning to be in the Des Moines area let me know.  Would be glad to show you my AAR!

@Gary AAR Those extra pictures are really helpful- and let me know I've got a few details to take care of for the underside of the hood when drilling for the nozzles.

I've got the locations taped out, and plan to get them installed by the weekend.

THANK YOU for the assistance!

Success!  With @Gary AAR photos and measurements, the only scary part is the drilling.  :cheers:
