[1969CJ]

 The screw holes on the hood for the outer hood plate on my R code are not the same from RH to LH.How are holes supposed to be placed in hood? Pics? Thanks.

Standing in front of the car, two at the back and two at the front.
Looking at it like a clock face, approximately 11 & 1 and 7 & 5, not 12 & 6 and 9 & 3.
The holes in the hood pins are orientated 12 & 6 though.
There are good examples in Marcus's article if you click on the "guide to original 1969 and 1970 hoods" section within this page here:

Where was your car built?   There was a arrangement of ho workers were suppose to install them but want to check to see if your plant followed that

Car was built 1/30/69 in San Jose

Thanks narrows down the search for examples

From a week or so before your car was built at San Jose





From possible a couple of days after your car was built at San Jose. Either very consistent or same worker





As a note I often will adjust the pins so that I can insert a nylon washer between the pin and the hood plate to eliminate the scratches when not showing or displaying.
