What is the difference between '68 and '69 hood hinges? Is there a specific part number on the hinge to identify whether it is one or the other? With the reproduction hoods it is stated the '69 hinge must be used either on a '68 or '69 vehicle. Thanks for your advice....

69 hinge is longer between the mount points. Seems a few hoods got bent in 68.
