    Do you  mean this ? They're on EBay all the time.
    Nothing else bolts to your hood.

    my car is missing the lever there you push to the Left to pop the hood, yes.
    BUT this one on ebay has what looks like a pull lever which my car and other
    cars Ive seen dont have either

    The picture you just posted of a red one on EBay is not correct for 1970. You have everything you need already on your hood.

    That is for  71+ Challengers
