Default 77 Radiator support seals - Help

Need help identifying where radiator seals go on 1977 L48 w/air. Looking for both hood to support and radiator to shroud. Would greatly appreciate someone posting pictures or emailing pictures showing. My car did not have them and need directions for installation.

Thanks!

Dr Rebuild has illustrations that will beat the pants off of any photos that hardly do justice. He also has complete kits that probably include those instructions. BTW, your wise to get those in place...helps to keep it cool.

this is from my 77 L48 orig w/air...you can orient the photos by the strut rod that goes from the bottom to the area in between the headlights...

Thanks to all, I was way off.

I thought they went between the shroud and radiator, not the support and radiator. To bad I have already installed the support and radiator! Can probably just remove the top two supports and tilt forward to install?
