I cannot find an illustration showing the hood bumpers that attach to the underside of the hood . I've attached pics for the area in question. I noticed the hood is hitting the two front bolts attaching the baffle to the header bar ( FAM Sect 11 sheet 2.04 ). Looks like the rubber bumpers attached to the upper baffle are too short to do their job. The listed part number for the bumper in the FAM section is 3676360 . Wiki search revealed that the bumpers part number 3676360 is 3/4 x 3/4 per the 1954 P&A Manual but shown as 3/4 O.D x 13/32 (.406" ) thick in the P&A Catalog Feb 1961. The ones in the kit from Classic parts are .340" thick so there's a problem right there. I found what appear to be close to correct at Steele Rubber, their 33-0680-42 is 1/2" thick (.500"). Somewhere / somehow I determined that the two rubber bumpers attached to the underside of the hood (shown in my pics) are supposed to close against the lock plate but I'm having a tough time finding an illustration that verifies this. All input appreciated, including the part where I may be wrong or blind or both.
