I'm going to replace the standard hood latch on Aaron's '74 Dart Sport with a cable release hood latch. Where does the cable pass through the firewall? There are no holes or plugs. Got any pics to show me? Jerry |

The inside hood release is very uncommon on an A-body. None of mine have ever had that option. I'll take a look at my factory service manual later. Sometimes they are good to show things like this, sometimes not. |

There should be a dimple a little larger than the cable you'll have to drill a hole through. I put an inside hood release on my 73 Dart Sport when I had it, but don't have any pics. A trip to a junkyard may provide you with an example. Steve G. |

From memory only, I think it passes through the firewall below and to the right of the steering column. Correctly installed, you should have plenty of cable to even make a mistake. The valiant I just parted out had one, and it was an aftermarket item. Guy drilled a hole through the firewall, put one of those "O" ring protectors around the hole or maybe even some plumber's black putty and it looked like a factory job. |
