I have a 68 and it does not have the under hood insulation blanket. Also there are not any type of clips to secure any insulation at all. I know that maybe someone (previous owner) might have installed a new hood and did not put it on.
Did this year come with or without the insulation??????? Appreciate all feed back.

As far as I know, '69 was the first year for a hood insulator. Pins were glued to the hood & the insulator was held on by retainers that went on the pins. I would think a '69 should work................

per NCRS 1968-69 TIMJ 3rd edition, page 68 ...
"In 1969, a piece of dark gray/black insulation padding fixed to the front underside of the hood above the radiator and front of the engine was used sporadically until late in production when it disappeared. There is no pattern for this use, but it seems to have been more common on 427 cars. Except for L88 and ZL1 cars, which had it glued in place, the insulation was held by 3 natural aluminum split shaft pins and large black metal push-on retainers"

What about a 78 SA, I have no hood insulation or signs that it ever had any.

Does anyone manufacturer for the C3, hood insulation with logos, etc similar to what is available for the C5s and C6s?

It had it. I removed mine when it was only 2 or 3 years old & was easy to pop those glued pins off. After I painted the underhood you couldn't tell it was ever there. And if anyone happens to tell you that no insulation will hurt your paint, it's BS. I still have my original paint........
