RE: Max Wedge hood?

[Nick Tiberio <furyus63@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

I'm sure this reply will bring up several answers, but here is what my 
research has shown so far. In 1963 the Dodge 330 2-dr. sedan with code 
709, 425 hp 13.5:1 CR engine was offered with the aluminum lightweight 
package. The aluminum hood also included an attached two-hump functional 
aluminum air scoop with two carburetor openings in the flat hood panel. 
The inner hood reinforcements were cut away to clear the carburetors.

I have not found information for a steel bodied 63 Dodge 330 2 dr sedan 
produced with a scoop. There were no steel scoops. Anything other than 
this was done by the owner after he received the car.
