anybody else experienced this problem? I have seen somewhere can't remember some company that makes one that is less dense material that compresses more alleviating this problem. I installed a soft seal and the back of the hood is about a 3/8 inch to high.
It is my 68 that I am experiencing this dilemma.

The stock seal might have been flat topped, at least the nearly nos one I found is ...

Didja get generic crapo from opg ..?

no more fumes and it sits right ...

It is the same design that all the repro places have as well as the better ones.

I got all my seals from Supercars and all were soft seal. Everything fit great except for this one item. I have come to the conclusion that this might be more pronounced with the 68's because of the crappy hood hinge design.

I kept getting exhaust with the new round one from OPG , They were good on refund though...

I found a cherry vista cruiser at a junk yard and it had a flat topped one like I took off. All the pins fit perfectly and no more fumes ...

i HATE THAT GENERIC CRAP like my windshield squirters that had to be custom fit. I grabbed those also...
