Where do I need to look to find the hood cable release plugs to manually open the hood?

Re: Broken Hood release cable
First, we look up your profile to get an idea as to WHAT year car we're talking about (a '73 'eh?)...
Open hood, and look in the cowl area (where the wiper arm drives live). On earlier Shark cars, you'd have to remove the wiper door grille to get there...- Top

Re: Broken Hood release cable
Terry,,,, Im thinking you may have to jack your Vette up and take off a dust shield on the drivers side and reach up in there by the hood latch somehow. If you remember the latch at all it has what I would call a trip lever that you should try to move enough to unlatch your hood. Am I right, guys???........Bill S- Top

Re: Broken Hood release cable
Some of the corvette vendors sell a tool to go through the hole Jack refers to in the post above to unlatch a hood with a broken cable. If you do not have power brakes or you find a way from the bottom around the booster you may find a way to relase the hood it can be done.
