77 hood dimensions

[Josh in Pa]

I have a nice straight 77 hood but like many it was cut for a bigger muffler. I’m going to weld a patch in. Does anyone have measurements to locate the center of the hole in the patch? Thanks.

Korves Oliver parts has curved patches with the hole in the right place.

That’s where the patch is from but it can slide front to back on the hood. I was going to install my muffler and pipe and then put patch so it’s centered, but the muffler can be turned some and adjust position as well so I was hoping for a measurement.
