Administrators BRAAP Posted December 18, 2008 Administrators Share Posted December 18, 2008 okay so i cant figure out what the two hood latch looking thing are for. ones on the passenger ones on the driver side. looks like hood latch. 2nd question is in the engine bay theres this two things that im guesing connects to the two up top? looks like two bicycle brake cables lol thanks Pictures would GREATLY help! Without pictures, we need WAY more info. Any latches and cables, could be installed OE or installed by a previous owner for God only knows what purpose, etc. need to what car, what mods etc. Again, pics make it much easier. Cables in the engine bay of a '70-'74 Z car, if it is stock with stock carbs, would most likely be the choke cables. Early '70 car, could also be throttle hold cables. Hood latch looking things, on either side of the car? One passenger side, the other driver side. Hmm… In the engine bay, in front of the radiator, in the foot well, door jambs, on the side of the trans tunnel, rear strut towers, tail lights? By chance when you said “Hood latch looking thing” did you really mean “Hood latch release handle looking thing?” If so, I take it you are referring to the ones in the foot well near the door hinges? Just follow the cables attached to those handles to where they terminate and watch the little door they actuate as you pull/push on those handles.

saxfiend1967 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 the 2 bike cables are choke cables I am guessing the latches are the mounting brackets,B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7MGFORCE Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 no camera buddy borrowed it. i thought they were choke but why would a pessenger need one? is a circular shape pull type latch. i tried to follow it but it goes under the dash. does it open the heater vents?

Challenger Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Wow. I believe the passenger has a pull latch thingy dingy for opening and closing a foot vent. Atleast thats what I remember my 74 2+2 having... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregkring Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Two in the cabin that are round knobs are probably the fresh air vents. Should be one on each side running up under the dash to open vents to the outside air. The two bicycle cables under the hood are for the chokes on the carbs. If you don't have carbs you won't need the chokes, obviously. Good luck. Get a camera and it will make your life much easier identifying this stuff.

Daeron Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 You are talking about the fresh air vent pull knobs. It is (when it works) one of the greatest features of this car, along with a few other make/models I have encountered. The only feature I can think of off the top of my head that is more special to me is the fact that you cannot lock your keys in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
