Re: 69 R code Cobra

 

Thank you Marty, that really clears things up on the R code intake.

Thanks guys, for that information. I am surprised at that considering how mine was built.? It was built in Kansas City.? So, it seems the cutout is most likely factory related.? I am not sure what they did to keep the flap from hitting the hood but apparently it worked.??

Years ago I set out to determine how many different versions of the hood existed between
68 and 69, and the results were that there are six versions of the hood starting from early
to late. ? And I have seen both cutout and non cutout on CJ cars.

But I will as always defer to others as I no longer keep up on it.

I have been having a discussion with someone on a Torino forum that is telling me some 69 R code Cobras came from the factory with the pie cut outs not opened up to one full hole.? I have never heard of this and know that if my hood had the unmodified pie cut outs, the flap that opens would hit the hood.? He is also telling me the seal to the hood is not compressed so there should be clearance for the flap.? My seal is deformed from contact compression and there is enough contact pressure that it has worn the paint to the primer.??

Is my Cobra unusual or does this guy not know what he is talking about??
