I am restoring a 74 firebird.. as best as i can tell someone used a
76 TA doner for a previous restoration.. Im converting this car to a
70 formula, so i have some parts to swap out..

shaker hood with shaker and air cleaner... i need a twin scoop hood
i think the nose i have is a 76 TA ... i need a 70-73 nose

other parts that are going:

an orriginal 8 track radio ... radio works , i dont know bout the 8
track
'76 pontiac 400 bb complete and running in car now
turbo 400 transmission good working order (converting to 4 spd)
AC Evaporator and condensor with the plumbing (i believe the pump is
the only thing missing)

anyone interested, let me know


Thx
Sam

If that's a 76 Hood Scoop, I might be interested, but I would need to
know how much you want for the part. I'm on a tight budget, so cost is
important to me.

From 1973-1976, all Trans Ams had the 'High Profile' 'Hood Scoop',
which had rounded edges, and a flat surface across the top, unlike the
'Low Profile' 'Hood Scoop' found on the 1977-81 Trans Ams.

Okay, if you can get photo uploaded either here, or on Photobucket,
then I should be able to tell if you have the right Hood Scoop to fit
a 76 Trans Am.
