Default 1966 Hood Ledge Weatherstrip Length?

The old weatherstrip that is on the car is 48 inches long. The car had been repainted before I bought it 42 years ago, so the weatherstrip could have been replaced with the shorter size. I bought the new weatherstrip from a long time Corvette Supplier and it is 64 inches long. What length is the correct length 48 inches or 64 inches?

Don't know the length in inches but the weatherstrip should wrap around the corners and terminate even with the hood latch pin on your car.

The longer supplied length was for C3. Cut to length. Similar to the picture.
