I agree. Took some pics etc anyway.....

Prop rod was shortened by original builder.
From center of radiator support to center of hood lip is 26"
Cardboard is taped onto my scoop & is 4 3/4" high over the cowl.
Clearance over cowl with hood up is 4 1/4"



Using a steak (Lath) to hold the hood up front center at 41 1/2" high.

Back has 1 3/4" clearance. (very close to wiper, but I need a higher one anyway)

One of the nicest Pintos I’ve seen. It needs a bigger tire IMHO. But that scoop is perfect,looks like a modified Boss 429 scoop. Anyone know this car or if that scoop is available ?

Type into Google: BOSS 429 Hood Scoop & lots of hits.

Found one on eBay that’s 5” tall and 26” long. I think it should be the one. I’ll post pics when it gets here.

Has anyone ever put a teardrop scoop on a Pinto,curious how this would look. Might have to. Uh one just to see..

You mean like the one on a T-Bolt?  They're generally too long and just don't fit.  What I was going to do before a fiberglass cowl hood fell into my lap was use a scoop for a '70 AMX and mount it backward.  Forward could work, too.
