Help help help
I have a 1981 vette that the hood on the passanger side will not release.. The driver side opens a little and I can reach the cable for the other latch. The cable I believe is broken or no longer attached. Is there a way to fix this? I really do not want to break the hood. Any suggestions would help.

Thanks

Look on the back of the fire wall under the hood. In winsheild area. There you will find a plug. It is a access to the release. Push in the plug. Use a screw driver. An feel around. You will hit the latch and release the hood. Once you open the hood replace the cable. Good luck
