Do you mean the lock that's in the pic below? PY told me the ones they sell wouldn't work on my 72 Formula so I paid 175.00 for an NOS one on Ebay. I hope you can get it to work. Post Pics and Good Luck!

YUP, I passed on that ebay one when one was mentioned in a post that a repop of some sort was available.
Although it took a while to get Ill give it a shot. Ill get to it later this summer, and Ill take pics. I can make it work and look good Im confident
PS, Do you have a correct mounting location? There isnt a factory one, since its not a RPO.

FormulaBruce does the repro kit have the same parts as the NOS kit that is pictured?

I was gonna ask the same thing. The part number 988993 actually shows as a 1972 Hood Lock. 70-71 Had a different part number.

No, like 80 bucks and just the cable and the lever, on the cable are the 3 mounting points.

Original accessory pkg remote hood lock pkgs were notorious for the chrome lever breaking. Loaded out '70-72 Olds Cutlass-442 & big cars often had a very similiar remote hood release. In the 80's, I used to pull the Olds versions whenever I found them- Pick-N-pulls, country yards, etc... most of the time, the lever was broken Def make sure the hood is well aligned, before installation.

When I bought my SD there was one of the inside latch assemblies installed on it, & as 'oph said the handle was/is broken off. At the time I thought it was after market, not a Pontiac accessory. I also didn't know the knob was chrome, it is missing. Any suggestions for repairing it?

There's a guy on ebay selling a complete kit for 70-72 442's. Would this work on GTO's or is just the handle part that's inside the car the same.

The cable and the lever part that attaches under the dash looks identical to the one that I have on my 74 SD Formula. But, the under the hood part (of mine) is totally different from the one in your picture.
