70-76 Demon,Dart sport,Duster Pictorial History

Just wanted to post what I found. I picked up a snorkle scoop from a 1972 Demon and matched it to my 1974 Dart Sport's with original snorkle scoop. The part # of the Demon scoop is 3573698. Didn't want to unbolt the scoops from my Dart Sport's so if someone has one lying around could you look for the part #? The bottom portion of the front is held on with 6 screws so I unscrewed it but did not find any part #'s. The bottom is the only piece that MOPAR re-did to make it fit the Dart Sports so the part #'s will probably be the same on the scoop itself. The Demon scoop bottom is almost flat with slight knotches on each side of this detachable bottom, about 1/8". This probably is for water drainage. The Dart Sports has a large "peak" in the middle of the hood so the bottoms are different.

I haven't tried the Demon scoop on my 73 Scamp hood so don't know how close it comes to fitting. It'll try this weekend. Will have to remove the studs.

I have two 1974 Dart Sport 360's with this hood scoop and the fender tag shows J54. The hood tape looks like the green and pink 1973's on this post. The holes in the hood are stamped and are 4 1/8" diameter. They are the same as my two 1970 Swinger 340's except they are spread out and use the same rubber seals that are used to keep water off the engine.

BTW, that pink 1973 had hood pins. Don't remember that being available. Anyone can add to this? If that owner can show underhood photos I'd appreciate it.

I have original new car brochures and none of them shows this scoops on the 1973-74 Dart Sports but I know they were available in 1974 because I saw them when they were new. They ALL had the two holes in the hood. They were a cosmetic option as I even saw a new 1974 Dart Sport 318 with it. That car even had the holes.
