70-72 Dart Hood Question

[Bonz]

I'm hoping that someone could help me out. I'm having an issue fitting an aftermarket hood. Could someone measure the center to center distance of the hinge to hood mounting holes on a 70-72 Dart?

Thanks in advance, Kerry

Hi are you talking from the top of hinge or bottom ? I have a 1971 dart hood that I can measure.

 

[Bonz]

just the distance between the 2 threaded mounting holes.

Hi Bonz I got 4 1/4 between holes also this hood is for sale great shape $100

Thanks for your help, I get the same measurement. But unfortunately, my new hood has them at 4".

1970 hoods used smaller diameter bolts than 1971 up.
