I'm looking closer to the dots behind the U..the..S...and the A..from now on...BUT I ain't for sure if Streets is stroking me or not....Hey Steve..are you sure its the latch and not the cable..It is cable controlled ain't it...Can you pull an inner fender well to get there???....I almost went back to YUKON JACK fixing the last one that went belly up for me.....Al.. .PS..The Jack is a real potent orangy tasting booze.....Yummy !!!..Then not now....Yet...The cylinders have to be inline.!!!

The corvettes have a latch on each side of the hood at the rear. You should be able to reach up and release each if you get it up on a lift.

on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
