I have one in a 71 Cuda. with a gen2 Hemi. It's 26" and I have had it about 20 years. No problems with it.

Tommychryco is doing the Shaker hood bubbles now. I bought one from Tommy For a gen2 hemi with 2 4bbls. for a 71 Cuda. Nice work from him.

Some of those parts are being reproduced. I needed a clock cable for my dash and it was about $75, I just looked in the Classic Catalogue and it's $134. I probably bought mine about 10 years ago.

So even with a stock 4 speed tunnel the tranny didn't fit. So you had to use their tunnel, silver sport, to fit it. I thought they advertise exact fit? Why do these companies lie to us, so we buy their products and now are committed to make it work.

That's probably part of the 500 they needed to legalize the Hemi for NASCAR.

Summit has a listing of cams for the gen 3 Hemi in there new catalog on page 174.

Well I have the harwood 210's on and it does the job. Closes without straining the hood and opens all the way. Thanks for the info and I'll never tell their Chevy parts. Dilemma solved.

The big block and the LA engine use the same thermostat housing, I have a hemi and a 74 318 and both have the same size thermostat housing. It's the magnum engine that uses the smaller thermostat housing. The bolt hole CL is 3 1/4" on both therm housings. Unless you have a magnum manifold on...

I have 10 binders full of Mopar magazines from the mid 80's when they started publishing them. The only solution maybe to take them to a car show, if you have dedicated Mopar meets, and try to get rid of them that way. I'd be willing to give them away so as not to have to put them in the recycle...

A meziere #WN0028U is a thermostat housing that gives you a 3/8 ported opening. Summit has it. I used it on a Gen 2 Hemi because no water in the manifold and needed Temp. sensor for F.I. installation.

And I think most of them are in CA.

And if it doesn't have them I would definitely recommend putting them on because of the amount of traffic and every other car having them and having to make a panic stop you'll definitely appreciate having Discs. Here in NY a slight hill on a parkway and everybody is stopped on the other side...

I'll order them and hope they solve my dilemma.

My shaker hood is an AMD reproduction. The 2 springs I've tried don't work, flat hood and fiberglass springs. I'd be willing to try the Harwood spring if it brings the hood fully open and doesn't look like the hood is going to bend.

With the Harwood 210 springs do they pull the hood all the way up? The fiberglass springs don't, I have to push it up manually, but at least the hood doesn't look like it is going to bend at the hinge. I'll never tell they are a Chevy part.
