ALL,

Hood louvers for a 68 SS. I have the gasket seals(one long strip). What I am not sure about,does the seal go inside the indentation or along the top of the rim? Sorry, don't have any pics. I am trying to get the louvers as flush with the hood as possible. Of course, I am finding out just how poorly these after market parts fit. Thanks for any and all help.

 

The seal goes between the screen and the louver. I too had a problem with flushness. I bought a reproduction hood and reproduction louvers. They didn't have the same crown (curve). So I put the louver topside down between 2, 2x4's and pressed down on the center with my foot (carefully) until the louver had a mild bend and fit the hood curvature. Unfortunately, I also had to file the holes in the hood to get the louver pins aligned. It was a hassle, but it worked and doesn't look too bad.
