BTW The hood ground was used on Novas too. However they only appear on the pre December 1969 cars. Mid year production change eliminated them. There is a Service Bulletin or Service News item on how to deal with customer complaints and what part number to install if needed.

I believe that the screech as the hood opened or closed cause more complaints than the static did.

I researched this a few years ago, I just looked into this again since my BB is an early car this item is on my shopping list.

Peter,
My take on these grounding clips is the same as Greg's. Seem only to show up on early production cars and deleted around the December timeframe. I've got some of those NOS if you need one.
