Hello from Florida. It is great to be back on the board. Over the years, I have had several Mopars, nothing truly unique but all special to me. Currently have a 1970 Cuda 340. Moved over to the B body boards when I bought a GTX. B body now gone.

To kick things off, I have a question about my cuda hood. My hood is missing the hood safety Latch. The fish hook looking thing. What other latch / catch can be interchanged?

Thanks, Grandaddy

Welcome aboard. Are you not wanting to use the stock latch set up ? I would recommend that in addition to replacing the safety latch, you install a later year model inside hood release. Otherwise your engine compartment is not secure to people wanting to look (for parts) at what is under the hood and thereby is subject to theft/damage by some unscrupulous people.

Thanks folks for the quick replies. I did buy the one listed on ebay. Quapman sent me in that direction.
Thanks again.
