A . Tape the edge of the body (up the le f t rocker, left door, across the cowl and down the r ight side) where the front end meets the body w i th 3/4" masking tape. One edge of the tape should be exactly at the edge of the body panels.

8. Place the front end on the chassis and center from side-to-side. Place a straight edge on the accent crease in the center of the doors and posit ion the front end such that the same crease in the front end i s parallel w i th straight edge.

C. Tape the edge of the front end wi th 3/4" masking such that i t i s d i rect ly over the tape on the body. Th is w i l l define the actual f inished edge of the front end.

0. Cut the excess off the front end wi th a sabre saw, by cutt ing along the tape edge. Sand smooth.

E. Re-posit ion the front end and check alignment. Shim, i f necessary, between the frame and the front end inner panel.

F. Dr i l l two 1/4" holes through the front end and the cowl at the locations shown in Figure 1 0 - 1 , and fasten with 1 / 4 " - 2 0 x 1" oval head THP bolts, f l a t washers, lock washers and nuts.

G. Locate the conical boss in the inner panels near the front end of the frame and d r i l l a 1/4" hole through the frame and through the center of this landing. Fasten wi th 1 / 4 " - 2 0 x 6" hex head bolts, f la t washers, lock washers and nuts.

H. Dr i l l a 5/16" hole through the rocker panel section of the front end just ahead of the joint w i th the body. Dr i l l through the body panel behind the rocker. Insert a 5 / 1 6 " - 1 8 x 1 - 1 / 2 " carriage bol t i n the hole. Place a suff icient number of 5/16" f lat washers on the bolt to shim the front end section of the rocker out to the body section and fasten w i th a f la t washer, lock washer and nut.

I. Fasten the front end inner panel to the sides of the frame members wi th 3 / 1 6 " x 1 - 1 / 2 " sheet metal screws and wide area washers.

INSTALLING THE HOOD:

Hinges (pair) Stingray, Chevrolet #3912639 and 3912640 Telescoping hood support (stingray) Hood latch assembly a at sun); mercury latch; external hood pins

Installing the hood (continued):

Place the hood in position in the opening in the front end and determine what edge sanding, if any, must be done. NOTE: The shape of the opening

in the front end may vary a small amount between different installations, -

due to the varying procedures for attaching the front end to the body and

chassis. Sand edges where necessary. proceed to hinge:

STEP THREE: Install the Hinqcs

A . Place the hinges on the liinqe rnocrntinq bosses (rarsed sllrfaces 011 r l thcr srdc and toward the front of the hood liner), s ~ c h that the hinge pin is 011 the outside of the boss and closc to the liner sclrface with the larger of the hinqe flanges on the boss and al l tlle way :o tile rear edqc of the boss.

B. Dr i l l the holes through the boss ant1 thc stccl plates bonded to tiler11 with a * I 0 dri l l and tap to 1 /4 " -20 .

C. Bolt on the hinges with 1 / 4 " - 2 0 x 1" hex head bolts, f lat washers and lock washers.

D. Dr i l l 2 c ~ c l i 1 / 4 " lioles i r r nriv Icq of c a c l ~ 2" x 2 " x 1 / 6 " x 4 " anqlc for attachment to hood inner panels.

E. With the front of the car up on jack stands, place the hood in position, reach up between the nose and radiator, place the angles in position between tlie inner panel and hinqe flanqe, and mark the hole locations (angles-to-inner panel and hinqe-to-angle).

F . Remove hood and dr i l l 1 / 4 " lioles at the markinqs.

G . Bolt the angle brackets to the inner panels with 1 / 4 " - 2 0 x 1" hex head bolts, f lat washers, lock washers and nuts.

H. With the hood vertical, bolt the hinges to the brackets with 11'4"-20 x 1" hex head bolts, f lat washers, lock washers and nuts.

STEP FOUR: lnstall the Hood Support

A. Position the telescoping hood support with its mounting bracket under the hood opening l i p 7 -3 /4 " back (toward the windshield) from the hinge bracket, measured ivot-to- Ivot. Mark and dr i l l two 1 /4" holes and bolt up with two 1 /4 " -20 x 1" oval head TH P bolts, f lat wasRrs, loc!! washws and nuts.

B. Position the upper support bracket on the mounting boss section of the hood liner and mak the mounting hole locations.

C. Dri l l two holes in the liner with a Y10 dr i l l bit and tap to 1/411-20.

D. Bolt the support bracket to the hood liner wi th two 1/411-20 x 3 / 4 " hex head bolts, f la t washers and lock washers.

STEP FIVE: lnstall the Hood Latch Assembly

A. Position the latch pin assembly on the hood liner boss (located off-center at the rear edqe of the hood) and mark the pin bolt clearance hole and the two mounting holes.

0. Dr i l l the clearance hole wi th a 5/8" dr i l l .

C. Dr i l l and tap (1/4Ir-20) the two mounting holes.

D. Bolt the latch pin assembly to the hood with 1/411-20 x l " hex head bolts, f lat washers and nuts.

STEP SIX: Install the Latch Assembly

A. With the hood down and the latch pin rest ng on the cowl, m a k the center of the center of the latch pin on the cowl.

B. Dr i l l a 1-1/2" hole through the cowl section of the front end.

C. Place the latch assembly in posit ion and measure the distance from the latch mounting holes to the firewall. Transfer these measurements to the two pieccs of 1- 1/2" x 1-1/2" steel angle and dr i l l two 1 /4" holes. Dr i l l two 1 /4" holes i n the other leg of the angle.

D. &It the angles to the latch assembly.

E. Position the latch assembly and mark the mounting hole locations on the firewall.

F . Dr i l l two 1 /4 " holes and attach the latch assembly wi th 1 /4" -20 x 1" hex head bolts, f lat w a s h ~ r s , lock WI- ! ' r rc and nuts.

STEP SEVEN: Install the Hood Release Lever -- A. F ild a convenient location on the square tube crossmember under the dash, position the lever assembly, mark and dr i l l the mounting holes.

B. Fasten the lever assembly wi th 3 / 1 6 " sheet metal screws and f lat washers.

C. Route the cable from the lever through the f i rewal l to the latch.

DEFOGGER K I T I N S T A L L A T I O N INSTRUCTIONS

Instal lat ion of Defosser K i t

Start by placing the template provided in the upper r ight corner of the forward bulkhead ( f i rewal l in front engine bodies) as shown i l l Photo C . Tape or g l~ re template to bulkhead in proper posi t ion and using the 3 " hole saw d r i l l through template where blower motor hole is marked. F i l e a small notch as shown on template. Using the 1 / 4 " d r i l l b i t d r i l l throlrgh the template where 1 / 4 " mounting holes are marked. Rcniovc template.

To mount blower motor unit place the motor through the 3" hole in bulkhead. Be certain the two wires (one wire is to be connected to the chassis ground system and the other to a source of switched - 1 2 V ) remain cjn the cockpit side of the bulkhead -- the f i led notch is where they , return through the b ~ ~ l k h e a d into the cockpi t area. See Figure 1 on Page 3 . S f ,Ire unit wi th 1/4"-20 hardware. Put sealant around motor as it projects into tl ie gas tank ulLd -- do not put sealant around motor in cockpit area.

To instal l blower gr i l les -- locate gr i l le duct o~ r t l e t s on the top of the dashboard as shown in Figure 2 on Page 3 . Draw a I ~ n c s t r a ~ g l ~ t across dash between the lower, outside corners of the windshield opening ( @ in Figure 2) . Measure 16-1/4" from each corner @ and draw a l ine ( in Figure 2). Then measure 1" from l ine @ toward hood and draw a l ine ( 0 in Fiqure 2) that w i l l intersect l ine @.

The point where @ and CJ inli:rsect is the center O F the gr i l le hole. Dr i l l 3" hole with the hole saw for each gr i l le duct. I f padded dash is to be instal led, d r i l l holes before ins ta l l ing padded dash, but inset the gr i l les after instal l ing padded dash. (Use a razor blade and cut a 2-1/2" + in the padded dash in the center of the 3" gr i l le hole). Insert g r i l l e duct into holes i n dash. Place U-brackets over p last ic studs then use the self-threading Tinnerman nuts to secure. See Figure 3 on Page 3.

Measure and cut the proper length of blower hose needed to get from motor unit to each g r i l l e duct. To attach hose just s l ide hose over nozzles of the blower and gr i l le -- no clamps are necessary to hold hoses i n place.

Locat ion for template marking mounting holes for blower motor unit.
