Pull on the cable and keep it pulled while someone else hits the hood to jar it open.

Look at the hood/fender gaps and see if it is too close or rubbing. Also if it is parked on uneven ground try it on a level spot. The 83 I had wouldn't close unless it was on level ground so it may be a similar problem with yours not opening.

My 85, after I pull the release, I have to go out, bump the top of the hood and bounce it down a tad, then it pops up enough for me to get in and release the secondary safety latch. Give it a try. No need to hit it hard, just a quick bang with a fist should do it. It'll make you think you are the Fonz on Happy Days to make the Juke box work.

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyee !!! I actually thought of that, but thought maybe with TV Land these days, maybe Happy Days runs on that channel and he'd seen it before.

Speaking of Fonzie, he must be hurting for money these days. I saw him doing a commercial for life insurance or something. I also can't believe the part they had him play in the Waterboy, a bit of a sissy.
