Dredging up the old topic:
This time to ask about information about hood lamp wiring and related hardware.
1.) There were early and LATE wiring to the hood turn signal lamps. Any known change-over approximate date established yet?
2.) The wiring plastic grommets used on the mid-production, before the "rolled edge" openings but after the externally run harness. These are NOT represented in the assembly manuals for the hood. Does anybody have more information about them? (e.g.
engineering or part number) ~for reference only, the trunk light grommet is C4SB-14603-H, is this possibly the same?
3.) Again, I ask about the number of clips shown across the center of the hood. Some have only 3 while some have 4. I cannot verify a pattern yet two San Jose examples, one a few days before my 11/02/66 example (built 10/29) and one a couple days afterwards (11/04) and BOTH look to have the under hood lamp as well. The differences noted are that the 11/04 built example had an older stamping date mentioned. The basic question I have is what would be recommended, do I drill 3 holes or 4 holes for the clips? I need to convert a later style hood.

Richard, as for item 1, the "early" style had two narrow posts - with an hourglass shape for lack of a better term. Later models were wider, the same width from top to bottom. Probably redesigned to reduce the problem with broken posts.
