Hood release spring
So I opened the hood on my 65 GTO and the lever felt funny. Went to close the hood and it won't latch fully closed. Looked underneath and found a rusted 1-2 " broken spring. Where can I find a new one ? Hood still catches on the safety latch. Glad the car was in the garage when it broke.
Any help much appreciated. OGR

Well I didn't place an order. They don't have the exact same spring but they many options to choose from.
The list is somewhat confusing. This is what I'm looking for.
