Re: Hood will not open. Help!! 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Mark Erickson on  Tue May 1 17:51 CST 2001 [RELATED]

On my 83 I had the hood slip out of alignment at the rear hinge. I gout the grille out and after trying to force the latch open (not pretty) I managed to unbolt the latch mechanisim form the body and it came loose. Check and see how your hood lines up. If it is askew that might be the problem. Mine shifted so much the post that goes into the hole in the cross memeber was stuck in there...

Good luck
