[Healeys] Hood Latch

[David Nock]

Look from under the car in front of the radiator, You will have a clear view of the latch and see where the latch needs to move.  Use a long screwdriver while someone is pulling the release. Then pry the peg to clear the latch and the hood will open.

I finally got the striker to catch but it will not uncatch.  It is wedged in. I have tried to pull the hood release hard while pushing on the hood; no release.
