Default 1985 hood

What do I need to do to get my hood to open? The passenger side always sticks. I have to lift it up and pull the release again. It's a pain..thanks...Jim still looking for air pump pulley ( see my earlier post)

My hood use to stick on passenger side until:

1) replaced cable - stretched and due to break
2) replaced the springs on the Hood.

Now when I pop the hood, it actually pops. :cheers:
