Went in and really oiled everything I could find.  Now the hood pops open w=
ith gusto!!  So if you haven't oiled that mechanism in the last decade or s=
o now might be the time to do it.

special thanks for barney gaylord and his mgaguru website.  i installed the=
 grill with the three "studs" instead of bolts on the top.  yesterday the h=
ood release failed to hood release.  3 bolts out of the bottom of the grill=
 (which were metric - obviously a moss motors grill), and the grill came ou=
t.  a little finagling and the hood popped open.  whew!!!!!

now - the question is what happened and how do i prevent the hood release f=
rom not working in the future.
