1973 Firebird Trans Am Hood Latch cable rod pull release INFO NEEDED
re: 1973 Firebird / Formula / Trans Am
How was the one year only hood latch release pull cable or rod originally? I see no replacement parts offered by catalog companies for this year. Anyone have photos of an original pull cable/rod? Have nothing to compare to. I now see Restore a Muscle Car may have a solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxvUjMnPPSA https://www.restoreamusclecar.com/pa...ease-cable-kit Last edited by 65madgoat; 06-21-2024 at 03:41 PM. |

Here's a pic what you're looking for. I do believe it's a one year part. I don't think you need the latch unless you're missing any of the parts that the cable attachs to on the latch.

If you're willing to drill holes to adapt the RAMC kit, great. But for the price you could find OE parts.
One discussion of OE install here. https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...d.php?t=795433

The original cable is fraying and the grommet wore out of its bracket. Unsure what I will do yet. Assuming I can get a new cable made(?) and then need that grommet secured.

FWIW, the 73 " J" bracket is different and has a special hole for one of 2 cable routing sleeves. May have one.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
