Hood latch question
I’m trying to figure out what will work on my 69. I have an aftermarket L88 long hood with no latches. I believe the male parts on the cowl are stock. I have tried looking in the catalogs but most don’t even list them, Zips does and lists 68 separate from 69-76. Does anyone know what the difference is and how to identify the correct latch? :confused:

Re: Hood latch question (wayne_69_427)
No wiper cover, My car was a basket case with boxes of parts. There was no fiberglass from the firewall forward but the hood came with the car. I have put the body back on the frame, purchased a one piece frontend and inner wells. Now I need to make the hood functional with hinges and latches. That is where I'm at and I am not sure about the latches.

Re: Hood latch question (427basketcase)
I have a couple of pics of the stock hood latches off my 1969.
I just finished going through them.
I will send them to your AOL account.
I have a regular style L-88 hood on my car so I'm not super familar with the long style.
