I ordered some from the dealer, I asked for the struts for the 82 or 83 pace car that had the plastic hood, the worked out well for my fiberglass harwood.

I ordered my from GM for my SS hood. Cost a lot, but are better than others out there. They will not crack your hood, as most other brands will. Also, struts that will not hold up a steel hood may still be too strong for a glass hood.
As someone said before, order for the 82-83 Crossfire hood.
