Have you tried some of the aftermarket suppliers that sell them and see if they have a drawing? I tried a search and could not come up with anything on the net.

First, do you mean a Cutlass S Hood?. The Scoop wont fit on a regular Cutlass Hood. They are different.

The Cutlass S hood and 442-(Same as H/O) Are the same. The 1969 Cutlass Supreme Hood is different and not compatible with 1969 H/O Scoop.

Are you referring to the under side as the mail box the part where all the air will be collecting the scoop o bought just has the front cowls no guts under it so I guess I'm needing the top side measurement as well like from nose cone to front of the center of cowl(how long the stripe would be) and im assuming its center from left to right ty for the help and the hood looks good I'm sure the rest of the car does too

Mail box = scoop . Is a hurst olds running joke. The best place I could get a measurement that was a solid line was the back of the hood the scoop is angled and that is at the base where the hood and scoop meet.
