I am getting my '78 core support ready for swap into my '85. I noticed today the hood latch mounting is different between the two. I have a manual latch for the '78 which I though I wanted initially. Now I am thinking of using the remote hood latch, but they are different between the two years.
So I guess my main question is, did they make a remote hood latch for the earlier core supports? And if so, what years can I use.

Yea, I did not realize until I was getting into this project after 8 years finally, that the top of the core was different between the two in the latch area. I am just going to go with the manual latch I have now for the older support, maybe later on I will try and find a inside release. A PO had already put the bird bath hood on, but it looks like they really fubbared up the '85 hood latch to get it to work. It's always latched and I always planned on the core swap so I never worried about it.
