What is different between the 67 and 68 and 69 hood hinges? Nobody seems to carry the 68, only 64-67 or 69-72.

Can the 67 or 69 be used?? Also if either the 67 or 69 opened further, that would be excellent.

Today i went to close the hood and one of the pivot links snapped. So now I cannot open and close the hood.

any help would be appreciated.

 

68 only and there are two styles, two bolts on the hood side (early) and three bolts on the hood (later). I think 70 Toronado works and allows the hood to open more as well.

Henry posted this a long time ago. He's probably using the Hollander interchange as a reference

So 88 & 98 hinges should work too. It's possible that the springs are different.

Joe P posted about the 70 Toro hinges a while ago. I haven't tried them

 

Thanks for the info. Mine was manufactured 4th week of May 1968.

It has 3 bolts on the hood.

 

Digging online. Ecklers.com shows 68 hinges with springs.

Anyone dealt with Ecklers before??

 

Dont try to order these from Ecklers. They are the WRONG hinges. When they arrived they looked good but the mounting holes are wrong.
Looking further at the packaging, they came from Classic Headquarters and their labels say they are for 70-72 Chevelle.

 

Thanks for the info, I was debating whether to restore my originals or order the Ecklers. Guess I'm going with the restoration option.
