Need hood release cable

Where do I go to find a hood release cable for a 84 trans am? The parts stores say they can not get them and I didn't think I could get one at a dealer since Pontic is no more. Any ideas would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Re: Need hood release cable

You might try to find one in a junkyard,or even one off of a camaro. Aren't they the same?

Re: Need hood release cable

I'm unsure why you're looking for a new cable, but if your current one is sticking, clean and lube the exposed under hood section (as well as the latch parts) and you may be surprised.

Re: Need hood release cable

Mine is broke. Previous owner put hood pins on the car instead of fixing it . I sould have looked on google I guess instead of wasting your time here. When the parts store told me it was dealer only I did not try google. I guess if I had been a google master I might have though. Sorry.

Thanks again guys, this reply was meant to be in fun.
