Anyone have the measurements on the outside corner of the Cuda' hood where the  Plymouth emblem is situated?

If you look on the underside of the hood there should be cut outs in the under bracing where the holes go. :alan2cents:

Thank you

Topcat,

Measured mine, with a tape measure lightly pulled against the side of the hood: first hole is at 1 1/2", second hole is at 4 3/8", third hole at 6 3/4".

From the front, the first hole is just shy of 1 1/16", second hole is 1 1/16", third hole is 1 1/8" from the front edge. They appear to be in line with each other, just slightly closer to the front edge near the side of the hood.

I will try to upload pictures...

Lay it out with tape and a pencil, and compare the pin spacing on your emblem. I would drill a very small pilot hole in the hood first and use those holes to check your emblem before drilling the final size.

 I just found mine and it us NICE! There isn't a gasket or anything that goes under it is there?

So the holes look like they line up with the front edge , the emblem should follow that edge as well? IIt shouldn't be  straight across ththe hood? If that makes sense

I never knew they offered those. Thanks
