The GM hood lock kit was a Dealer installed option only IIRC. The ones for F body's are pretty rare. I think Craig ( Norwood) made one for his car a while back.
The cable and under dash lever are still found for sale.
A while back I think PY offered a generic kit.
On this car There is a PDL Switch on dash, but looks like some other switch added to its left.
1970 models with the seat back release will typically have 2 door switches on the A pillar pad, which is a " double tall" area only found on a 1970.

I decided to expand upon this a bit;

HERE is a thread discussing this kit - but it has a different release than the one pictured in this car.

Here is a quote from that discussion:

HERE is another thread discussing the hood locks - this discussion has some parts pictured.

I just noticed that my kit has a different part number on the instructions;
The part number on the instructions is 979093.
