My z28 currently has a cowl hood that was put on it very early in its life .
It was originally a flat hood car so I am going back to that.

I have never owned a flat hood first gen Camaro, so I am not aware of the difference in identifying a 69 hood. (if there is any difference)

I found a hood within driving distance. Its supposedly off a 69.
Any way to tell??

That appears to be a 67/8 hood.

Yes. There are a few differences. Here's a couple ref pics I saved.

We have been working on a technical writeup on hoods for years, but obviously it stalled.

I see they have the trunk lids down at CRG, but not the Hoods.
I have never needed to bother researching it as everything I have ever had was original.
