I just did this for my '81.
DO NOT MESS WITH THE CABLE MOUNTS!

First remove the front grill and using a hand mirror and light look under the hood latch. You should see a steel wire coming out of the end of the cable and connecting to the latch. The wire is probably rusted through near the latch.

If so, you can buy just the wire with a new handle. Just pull the old wire and handle out, insert the new wire and handle, and reattach to the latch.
