Default 75 hood won't open

I need help. Hood won't pop open on driver's side. Passenger side pops open every time! I have read the threads that talk about the access hole in the wiper tray area. I have located the hole ( popped plug out, I'll retrieve that after hood is open). The problem I am having is in attempting to use a screwdriver to activate the left latch. I am flying blind. Can anyone offer some real help on exactly how to achieve this. I do not know where or how to use the screwdriver in order to trip the latch. PLEASE....HELP....

Some years are different. I couldn't use that way to do mine. I have a 76. I was able to remove the charcoal canister from under the car and reach up to push forward on the tab to get it open. Good luck
