Should my 1974 Duster have a hood - to - radiator support gasket?

I also was wondering about these unused holes into my Demon hood underside.

I have been lucky enough to find an used original rubber seal with clips, here on FABO.

This is the kind of part that is often removed, but never reinstalled :rolleyes:

The main purpose of this seal is to force the air through the radiator and not allowing it to pass between the hood and the radiator.

As told by Townsend, there is also another seal in rear, but its purpose is different : avoiding water to flow on the firewall.
