What years and what models were SMC hoods factory installed on Camaro?

Same question for the birds?

 

'82-'83 were the only years the SMC hood was used on the Camaro (Z28 only). They came standard on LU5 equipped cars with a functional cold air doors. The hoods were also used on other Z28s (non functional) though I'm not sure how this was determined. There was also a recall in late '82 -early '83 on the hoods due to delaminating. The procedure was an inspection and replacement with a steel hood - this is as far as I know the procedure so far. I'm not sure if the steel hoods retained the cold air function on LU5 cars.

I believe the Firebirds lightweight hood was aluminum and only came on the T/A ('82-'83?). It had the offset power dome which could be operational or not. I don't know much on this but I'm sure others will add definite knowledge.

 

Thats a good start coolram, thanks.

Anyone else care to chime in ?

 

He's right, SMC hoods were used on 82-83 Z28's only and never on Firebirds.

 

Firebirds got an Aluminum hood option in 1982, briefly... I know of about 3... I suspect there may have been a production issue with the aluminum...
