Re: When did 63' hood blocks start?
Another question is when did they end. I believe it is all layed out in the 63/64 JG.

OH NO! Say it isn't so, Harry!
"After VIN 14000 to about 19000 verts have 2 rear wedges".
14xxx has four wedges installed. Guess I'll have to tear my car up to fit the book. And all this time, I thought it wall all original.Comment

Re: When did 63' hood blocks start?
Stan, Hood wedges or blocks started approximately Vin 6500.
Page 41 of the JM spells it out quite nicely. Key word used and to be remembered is "approximately." It seems the hood blocks is a science in itself as there were so many changes and omissions of their usuage.
My 9916 car has four of them. All original. My other '63 which was almost 19,500 had zero. Another '63 I had used 2. Don't remember the month of it though. Looks like they were grasping for straws on those blocks. You have to read the book carefully as coupes and converts "sometimes" used them at different intervals at times and different combos.
