Some '67 Camino Pictures

Anything is better then having to buy another hood and I can pick up a base for under $10. Thanks everyone for the help and support!

I can see the pictures everytime ( which is good, because my work blocks alot of photo-storage sites)...

Personal choice, I preffer the stock SS hood over Cowl hood any day ( but thats just me), especially the '67 SS hood.

Lots of fab work, but I'd consider modifying the SS hood somehow ( building the cowl scoop between the bulges for the extra clearance, etc) before I'd put a generic cowl hood on... But sometimes, it might be the easiest ( and least expensive)...

I'd say the drop-base is at least 1 to 1-1/2 lower, plus that aircleaner on yours looks like it sits pretty high on the carb ( maybe an inch from bottom of filter to the ac mounting surface on carb), I don't remember mine sitting up that much off the carb ( but it does have to clear the accelerator pump on the Edel carb, so it can't be flush)...

Thanks for all the help Tony and I agree 100% I don't want to buy another Hood if I can avoid it and I like the sleeper look of the SS hood. I'm planning on going by Summit tomorrow and buying a 14 inch drop base and giving it a try this weekend.

different angle than your picture, but here you can barely see the Edelbrock carb at all...

, RPM air-gap, 5" tall filter, and I still have more room under the hood... Of course, this is one my '70 with the domed SS hood... I think its the cheap Summit base too...




Boy do I need a newer picture ( that was while it was in the body shop)...
