I am not sure. A very good friend from Missouri gave this to me. It came in the mail on Christmas Eve, and mom wrapped it. I had no Idea, but I am sure happy!

According to my Parts and Accesseries catalog there are at least four pieces missing that fit below that ring (it bolts to the under side of the hood) and above the carburator.This settup was made for the comercial type teapot Holley carbs so for 98% of us that would like to have a hood scoop the missing parts are unimportent.

If I put it on my 54 f600 it will be strictly for looks. So i would not try to tie it into the carb.

I guess that answers my previous question as I was wondering how you were going to adapt it to your F-1.

As much true dimensional information as you can/are willing/able to provide.

Alot of us are too cheap/unable/unwilling to buy/steal one of these and want to destroy a bunch of sheet metal trying to make a cootiebobbed scoop of our own.
