Are you sure the spring itself is broke? When I got my 68 Barracuda in 1993 the spring stud that is welded to the cowl broke it's welds. That holds the end of the spring. The spring assy will flop from front to rear. The hinge is fine, just doesn't have a spring to it. Been that way ever since! When you open the hood is leans to one side. Still stays up.



Well, Im not entirely sure. the spring stud is still there and intact. Like I said earlier, the "hook" end if u will of the spring instead of being locked against the spring stud at the 6 o'clock position, has now gone up to the 12 o'clock position. Not sure if the whole thing needs to be rebuilt?
