6-Pack emblem location

[Indiana Challenger Guy]

I'm finally getting close to having my car painted. It's been a long process with extensive metal work having been done on it. I am trying to determine the location of the 6-Pack emblem on the bulge hood so I can pre drill the holes. The car is a 70 Challlenger RT.

I searched the forum and found one inquiry in the eBody hole location thread, but I never saw an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are your emblems the three pin type, part number: 2998804 / 2998764 or are they two pin?  If your installing three pin I can post measurements sometime today however their may be problem getting a common point of reference.  How exact are your trying to be?

@mtull - Would you mind measuring the diameter of the holes in your hood?  I bought some emblem barrel nut clips and I'm not sure they're correct.  Thanks

Happy to try and help.

I have two hoods:
- both are from cars with an SPD of September 1969 (in case something changed between early and later cars). 
- both hoods have original paint (I believe), the hood with primer appears to have original paint underneath the primer.
- the EK2 hood had a 440 six-pack emblem. A 3/16 drill bit fits snug.
- the primer hood had 383 Magnum emblem.  Three of the four holes still had barrel nuts. A 11/64 drill bit fits snug.

I'm not sure why theirs a difference in emblem hole diameters between the two hoods?  A prior owner painted a dark color over the EK2 and filled in the emblem holes with rubber caulking.  I pulled the caulking out of the holes and wet sanded the dark paint off.  Perhaps the prior owner also re-drilled the emblem holes?

Hopefully the measurements and pics are of some use

Thanks Mike!  I'll take some measurements and get back to you.

@mtull I'm going with a barrel clip designed for a 3/16 hole based on your measurements.  Thanks again

I'm glad I was able to help.  I've seen a few barrel nuts on eBay but don't recall seeing their size.  I need some as well.  Where are you ordering from?

@Indiana Challenger Guy hopefully the measurements shown in the image above help?  Sorry I don't have a six-pack emblem to show the exact location of the emblem itself.

Best of luck
Mike.

Thank you  ... I would have ordered the wrong ones.

I hope that I am doing this right. I apologize for not getting back sooner. I have been out of town on a fishing trip and just got home. I ordered the three pin emblems through Year One. They do not use the barrel nuts. I can mike the pins and get the hole diameter. What I was really trying to determine is the emblem location on the hood bulge. I didn't know if it was centered or if there were measurements to it's proper location on the hood bulge. 

I really appreciate all the info that you provided. I am new to the forum and I am amazed at the wealth of knowledge available.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
