    I just bought a 38 Pontiac 6 from another member and the hood and grill are missing. There is a hood for sale on ebay but I'm not sure if the Pontiac 6 and Pontiac 8 used the same hood. Were they the same? if not does anyone any measurements. Any pics of a 38 Pontiac hood to help with visual ID? Thanks, Ed

    Isn't the chrome strip different down the middle of the hood between the 6 and 8 models?
     
  5. The six has a 117 inch wheelbase, the eight 122, and I'm thinking it's safe to ***ume that the added length is ahead of the firewall for the longer eight cylinder engine.

    Anybody got a Pontiac 6 hood they can measure right up the chrome strip in the middle to give me reference?
