difference in 71 and 68 hood spikes?

Is there a difference in a hood spike on a 71 than a 68? I know they call for a different latch, but I wonder if spikes are the same?

They look to be exactly the same.

Talking Re: difference in 71 and 68 hood spikes?

The pointed part of your hood latch that the release actually catches on. It's the point that sticks out on your hood latch.

the part that makes your noggin bleed when you jump onto the rad cor support when you need to plug in the tach wire when you are workin on some one else's truck.
Its there to remind you that you should be workin on your own truck instead of another guys skunk rig.

How was your day?
