I've got hood pins. The safety latch is redundant. Hoods on 71 Plymouth B's don't seem to open as high as others, making it one heck of a hazzard. Mine had hair and flesh hanging off it, and the swear words still echo within the rafters of my garage to this day. -Jim I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman.
