all 83-88 hoods are the same, with the exception of 87-88 TC hoods, only because of the scoops.. but the scoops have nothing to do with fitment

drivers side scoop will hit the top of the compressor bracket if used...

must be ground down or removed for clearance.

Well, if you've got water pouring directly onto the engine when it rains, then it doesn't quite fit all the way, does it? ;)

And 1983 hoods are different.

This is the first time I have read that anywhere, granted I know very little about the pre '86 cars. Learn something new everyday! :D

It's just the mounting holes to the hinges...but it is different (as well as the hinges themselves). 1984-88 are pretty much all the same hoods.

As long as you got the hinges too, you're fine. Where they bolt to the car is the same, just where the hood meets the hinge is different. If you swap hoods hinges and all, you won't see the difference.

are the hinges visibly different, or are they they same with the exception of the hood mounting holes? if they're visibly different, than i need to sell the hood and find an 83 specific hood
