Not according to the Eckler's catalog. At least the L-88's.

Hood latches changed at some point ... forget if it was 77 or 78.
If aftermarket, it may have provisions for both. A long L88 is definitely aftermarket.

Are the mounting holes the only thing after 73' that makes one hood different from another?
