So I don't want to belabor the point but just trying to learn.  I was lead to believe that the hood latch was shorter and had a small bend in it.  Yes, the pull rod out and a plug in it's place. SO the latch is suppose to be straight??  or could it be either?? mine was a 6/2 build date.

I think they should have not put the guy's last name in the story. Cause someone likely will track the man down about the daytona

That's why I keep all my stories anonymous.

So I don't want to belabor the point but just trying to learn.  I was lead to believe that the hood latch was shorter and had a small bend in it.  Yes, the pull rod out and a plug in it's place. SO the latch is suppose to be straight??  or could it be either?? mine was a 6/2 build date.

But I noticed that are contradictory to what I thought I've learned.  I noticed what looks like a straight hood latch.  I thought they were suppose to be the short one with the bend.  

That's the right hood latch (see first photo below).  Standard '69 Charger issue, just without the pull rod.  Most of them still had the little black plastic bushing from the original pull rod which was discarded.

What Gene said "straight without the handle ",my 606 build has the straight one.
