okay, we need to get on the same page here - when you say, the "mounting holes", do you mean the mounting holes for the hinges? then you say 3 out of 4, again, the hinges? not sure what your talking about when you say "unit mounting holes" - i'm guessing the unit is the hood - ???

i can tell you that the 84 hood is a different assembly than the 85's, and i'm not sure if they mount the same way, or if the 84 hinges are the same as the 85's - ?????????

some pics would be nice...

He has another post in C4 Gen with "headlight " in the title so I'm as lost as you are.

So the options are:

Hinges
Latch assemblies
Hood Prop
Headlights
