Hood insulation pad question
Hello, which side of the hood insulation pad attaches to the underside of the hood, there is a smooth dark side and a rough fiberglass side to the pad, This is a 65 442, thanks.

Insulation
I installed it with the hard side facing the hood, I used the clips from Kusick, so far no problems.

Marc,
1st off "Thank You" for your Service Sir! My dad was in Vietnam, he was a member of the "Big Red 1". I bought my Hood Pad on eBay thru The Parts Place and since I work for Advance Auto Parts I bought my Round Hood Pins there, you will need 13 of them for the install, everything went fine as I have put a lot of these on over the years although some times 4 hands are better than 2 when doing this job. I will take some Pictures of my install over the weekend and post then on the forum.
Thanks,

I installed a new hood pad in my '78 Toronado, and I had no choice as to how it was oriented as it came with a cutout for the underhood light (lower right in the photo). Thus, the pad could be installed only one way, and that was with the hard side facing the engine. I always thought this made sense because the hard side protects the insulation from any fluids, dirt, etc. that might get onto it from the engine compartment.
I did use adhesive, which helped hold it in place while I pushed the clips into place.
