    I was just wondering if anyone has use struts to hold open there hood instead of the prop rod? Pictures would help alot and some information on how and what parts are needed.

    Thanks Micheal

    Screw that prop rod and every time it caused me to get scalped by the hood latch. What I did is in the same thread Maverick75 linked.

    I feared they would get in the way and annoy me eventually, but I'm pleased to report after 3 1/2 years, lots of work under the hood and two engine swaps they have yet to bother me.
