Safety hood latch question.. Help
« on: August 18, 2009 - 06:27:42 PM »
I need a safety hood latch for a 70 challenger. Does anybody know if the safety hood latch for a 70-74 cuda will work? Will they interchange?
Thanks

actually it will bolt on & should work ok but the tab you lift to release the latch is much shorter on the Cuda

the Cuda one will work until you can find the right one for your car at least

I just installed a T/A hood, but mine had the arm braised on the hood latch. :dunno:
