You can get a stinger type hood for your '78 here (pic on page):

stinger hood

If you look at my corvette photos at left, you can see the long style cowl hood on my '68 too.

I recently saw an late 70s model with the Eckler Hi-Rise hood....

It looks soo bad ****!!!

Unfortunately I only had my camera phone, and it was getting dark and were moving about 40mph when i took the pic...
