73 Challenger hood latch ?

[coyote42]

I am putting together the front end of my 73 Challenger. The whole front end was apart when I got it and it’s missing pieces. No hood latch and striker. I just bought a latch and bracket from Vans listed for 72-74 but it doesn’t have the provision for the remote release. Has a manual release lever and doesn’t look right. I am looking for some pictures of the correct set up.
Thanks.

This should be a correct remote release latch.

This should be a correct remote release latch.

This new one is not even close to yours. It has a long release lever and my replacement header panel has the log flat manual lever that I think is supposed to intersect a release piece on the latch. The original header is gone. The remote cable is still there.

This is what was listed for a 73 Challenger at multiple places.

That is a 1970 latch.

Yep, that latch is not available in any listings that I found. They list the one I did get as 70-74. I may be able to cut the lever off and modify it to work with the header lever.
