Re: Hood to Cowl Seal
The seal screws underneath the front of the cowl (with the same screws that hold the cowl down, if you buy a new seal it should be slotted for these screw holes), under the hood. When you close the hood, the "bumped out" area at the back of the hood makes contact with the seal (which sticks above the cowl) and seals the water from getting your engine/distibutor etc. wet.
EDIT: You can't see the seal when the hood is closed, it sticks above the cowl, but still under that back edge of the hood.

Re: Hood to Cowl Seal
The one I bought wouldn't work right due to the shape. It made the hood stick up in the back. It looks to me like they should be shaped close to a "C" rather than an "L" like the one I got to allow the hood to shut properly.

Re: Hood to Cowl Seal
I bought one from LMC that was shaped like an "L". It prevented my hood from closing. I threw it in the trash and reinstalled the old cracked one.

Re: Hood to Cowl Seal
Hmm, clothes pins, I did that also but it still held the hool up, I got out the sisors (sp ?) and cut about 1/4 off the lip, shuts ok now - if anyone know who sells the correct one put me in line cause I need 2 of them.

Re: Hood to Cowl Seal
Kinda of interesting that the LMC catalog shows the correct seal in the exploded view. It shows it being more of a sideways V shape, not an L shape. I have a new one at home from Presicion???, but haven't installed it yet, nor do I remember what shape it is. I will look tommorrow and get and let you know.

Re: Hood to Cowl Seal
Glad to help on the part number.
There are actually quite a few parts still available from the General for these old trucks. I've often seen stuff listed on Ebay as NOS that is readily available from the local Chevy dealer. |

Re: Hood to Cowl Seal
Does the seal mount between the cowl and body or on top of the cowl?
Thanks |
