Hood safey catch
« on: July 16, 2009 - 08:22:00 PM »
Does anyone have any pics showing the differnce between a 70 and 71 hood safety catch for a challenger?  The parts book lists 2 numbers, 1970 is 2999078 and 1971 is 3508320.  My car was built 8/31/70 so was wondering which is correct and what the differnce is between them.

totally different latch , so your car should have the 71 grille in it so you need the later # , the 70 doesn`t clear over the grille inserts properly
