86 K20 Hood latch
 
Hood latch release cable broke on my 86 K20. Any ideas for getting the hood up? Never happened to me before... (Hooking the latch blind with a wire requires me to know where the original cable hooks first)

Re: 86 K20 Hood latch
 
If it broke under the hood you have to take off your drivers side inner fender, once that is off pull on the cable with a pair of vice grips. The cable itself runs along the top of the rad cradle and through a hole close to the drivers side fender on top. If it broke ontop of the rad cradle you will have to burn the bolts for the latch out with a torch. ****ty situation but Good luck !
