Hood: Description and Operation

The hood is a front-opening type secured by a standard double-release latch. The hood release T-handle is located below and to the left of the steering column. When the hood is opened, it pivots on two hinges and is held open by a hood prop. The two hinges are secured to the body with two bolts and to the hood with two bolts on each hinge. The hood can be aligned fore-and-aft and side-to-side by loosening the hood bolts and adjusting. The hood latch can be adjusted in both axes to match the position of the permanently attached striker.
