I have not been paying attention to the various types of hoods available on the Capri throughout the years. Or more specifically, which hoods got vents and or a "scoop", and what type of scoop it was, and also if the hood had a hole under the scoop. I may have figured out which models/engines got which buck tag codes (see list at bottom of this post) but I still don't know what the hood/vents/scoops looked like for each and which had a hole under the scoop. I would like to know so I can properly decode the hood code on the buck tag.
EDIT: Looks like all Capri hoods had color-keyed vents? Also looks like there was a "scoop" and a "bulge"? The scoop (1979+?) sat behind the vents. The bulge (1980+?) surrounded the vents.
Here is where the hood code is located on the buck tag:
What I would like from you Capri owners is:
1) year, model, and engine
2) if hood has scoop or bulge or neither
3) hood code on buck tag
4) if hood has hole under scoop/bulge
Thanks!
