78-82 Hood will other C3 fit?
Will earlier model C3 "high rise" hoods fit on a 78? Need some extra clearance for manifold and carb. Is the an L88 style or similar for the 78? Just bought this car so all is new to me.

No they won't, there are short style for cars with wiper doors and up till 77 they have the latches on the hood instead of firewall. So, even if it's a long hood the latch will still be all wrong.
The L88 style for later models will fit. Many people buy from Ecklers and such, I got mine from JCWhitney which is made by Legendary Fiberglass, it's the same hood as sold by Zip only for a lot less money.
