Are 1969 camaro and 1969 nova hood hinges the same and interchange without any problems?
thanks. kdka

Check with year one and see if its the same part # or maybe goodmark

The 67-69 Camaro Hood hinges interchange with the following:

65-67 Chevelle
65-67 Full Size
66-67 Nova
67-69 Firebird

Hope this helps...

But the springs might be different? The springs being passed off by the vendors for 1st Gen Firebirds won't properly support the hoods. However, I've heard that they are correct for Camaro. Can anyone confirm?

Yes, the hinges are the same, but the springs were different depending on the type of hood. Plain, SS, etc. The SS hoods had heavier duty springs.

I forgot that article was there, thanks Ed!!!

Thanks, for the explanations. The Pontiac parts book shows the '67 and '68 Firebirds use the 3848272, which is what that article indicates for the SS hoods. Some vendors claim the 3848272 number offered for the Birds but they are not still not strong enough to hold the hoods fully open and several of us are looking for a better spring. Maybe something is wrong with the currently offered 3848272 compared to the factory originals? Thanks again for the responses. Sorry for the use of the hinge subject to ask.
