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.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
