Tony240ZT Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 My `72 will do the same thing. It's gotta be from flex. You can adjust the latch forward a little to have more meat engaged. Wish I knew what it was called, but anyways I think this is why people install supports from the firewall to the shock towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony240ZT Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 There are 2 bolts on the hood latch, located on the hood, if you loosen them you can slide it foward. Just takes a 10mm wrench or socket, could be 12mm.. anyways pretty strait foward can't mess anything up if you do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
