Ford hood

Is there a way to tell the diference between a high hood and a low hood on a T model ford? Im needing a high hood for a 25 runabout and seen a hood or 2 on ebay but i have no way of knowing if it will fit, i even asked the seller. Any help?

Thanks

You need a Mac's catalog. I have their model A catalog for my doddlebug and it's full of little drawings with dimensions of how to tell variations on parts apart. I know the A catalog had such a sketch of the A hood styles and how to tell them apart. I'd be surprised if the T catalog did not have the same. A good deal of the drawings are on their web site but they are not as clear as having the printed one in your hand.

Go here, sign up for a catalog, It will be a while 'til it comes. In the mean time check out their online catalog.

This answers your question.

They said the hood on ebay measures 14 and 1/2 exactly. Does that sound like a high type hood?

sounds like its not "T" unless the 26-27 is that height.How many louvers?

it's got 18 louvers. I just found out it's for the 26 to 27 fords. ....ahwell....back to hood lookin.
