  View original topic: 3-TAB hood- not 3-HOLES

I did a search but I am still confused. I have a hood that has three tab slots (not round holes) and no raised surface. Basically it looks exactly like a 4-tab hood except it has 3 slots. What year is this hood? I found info that says that there are three tab hoods that pre-date the four tab hoods but I don't think this one is that early for some reason. From what I gather the 61-62 hoods had either 3-round holes on a flat surface or the later raised surface and the 60 still had the 4-tab. Any info?

Well it looks like you still aren't going to see one. I ground down the primer on the underside and found two tabs were filled and a fifth was added for some reason. So, it's a 4-tab after all.
