Under hood insulation

[JimmyG]

Hi. I have the underhood insulation pad, still in its packaging. Which way does it mount? Which side goes toward the engine, the fibreglass or the backing/liner?
Thanks

The backing towards the hood. You kind of answered your own question.

By the middle 1960s, the insulators were also stamped to match the inner structure of the hood panel itself. That, too, kind of answers the question, too.

Thank you for your response. I am now confident in ensuring proper assembly, which I believe is part of the purpose of this site. I have had to scrape the insulation off of a hood or two in the past.

Thank you also for pointing out my lack of experience on this particular topic. In my responses on this site I have always tried to offer assistance without drawing attention to a person's lack of familiarity or their simple confusion.

I wish you both well.

While that's true, a lot of the aftermarket pads aren't molded like the OEM, so that's really not answering the question.

I see your question as being pretty reasonable. No one is born knowing everything and you are correct that part of the purpose of the site is to help with "proper assembly".

To answer the question, the fiberglass is towards the engine and the backing towards the hood.
