TKILL Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 Yes it was purchased I have since installed a holley sniper fuel system on it. Chaged out the fuel pump and new distributor. Need ideas on a hood lift sytem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Yes, that info would have been interesting to have to begin with. None of us are Kreskin. You realize the info on the ad was wrong in regards to the engine? Anyway, what do you mean by a "hood lift system"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerJon Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Looks like it has stock hinges, but without the lift springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 A little bit of an introduction by the OP would have been nice. Just jumping in asking for information leaves me cold. I have what he needs but not going there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKILL Posted April 9 Author Report Share Posted April 9 Something other than spring assisted, Hydraulic arms or a type of scissor hinge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you act like getting info out if you is akin to pulling teeth help will not be forthcoming. This is a modification that I do not think anyone here has done so you are pretty much on your own. If you wanted to return it to proper original working condition, help would be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave72dt Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Start checking out lift supports similar to those used on the rear hatches of SUVs. They come in varying lengths and strengths. Some fabrication may be needed to attach them, i.e. welding and cutting. Electric could also be used, again, some are used to auto close tail hatches, and passenger entrance doors on vans or tonneau covers. The problem with fabrication is it's likely to mess up that lavender paint and if it's custom mixed you better have some on hand. If you're looking for specific parts, you'll be reminded to post them in the classified section, not in the main forum. Other forum may tolerate want ads and for sales in the main. This one does not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
