Hood emblem position
« on: May 30, 2014 - 09:43:40 AM »
Got the 340 Four Barrel hood emblems for my Challenger hood, does anyone have the correct measurement to place those? Hood does not have any holes. Also, does all emblems have the same hole spacing (just in cast I change engines later...)

I have the 340 emblems off my 70 challenger sport hood at the moment.  I'll try to get some measurements tomorrow, when I'm in the shop, if that helps.

Did some measuring today for the 340 4 barrel emblems.

Measurements were all taken using a cloth tape measure that was pressed to follow the shape of the hood.

First measurement is from clipping the end of the tape to the rear (windshield side) of the front hood and stretching to the hole that is closest to the windshield.  That measurement is 19 ¾ inches.

Second measurement is from the driver’s side edge of the hood to the front pin hole (on the front grill side of the hood)  This was 5 7/16 inches.

Third measurement is from the driver’s side edge of the hood to the back pin hole (on the windshield side of the hood).  This was 5 3/8 inches.

Take a look at the images below and this will make more sense.

The emblems I have the pins are 4 ¾ inches apart.

Hope this helps.   :wave:

Seems perfect! This is measured exactly after you car. I just need to drill the holes now. Is there any clips on the other side or do they just stay in place with the plastic thats on the pins?  Thanks a lot Jim!

Mine just had the plastic retainers that push into the hole.
