Hood latch

(1/3) > >>

apfstg:
My car had front clip removed when I purchased it now working on aligning hood with fenders etc.
my question is where does the hood release handle go? No ‘79’s around that I can look at so I’m here at the forum
I always get an answer here so ‘thanks ‘ in advance!

5th T/A:
Here is a diagram out of my 1980 assembly manual. I am pretty sure things are the same 79-81. If this drawing isn't good enough, I could probably snap a few pictures from my car.

View A is the release handle end at the bottom. View B is the latch end at the top. The cable routing is in the center diagram.

apfstg:
That answers everything but is it coming through drivers side signal light/vent?

tinpusher:
It is under the front bumper centered. It has a weird retaining clip that holds the cable to the bracket

tinpusher:
These are the parts that you will need. Not pictured is the latch itself.
