Can anyone point me to a website with proper installation instructions on how to install hood pins on my 70 dart?

Is it a fiberglass hood? Are you planing 2 in the front or 4 corners

If it's a standard steel hood and you just want the 2 front here is a link, Not mopar, but you will get the right idea. Also a few pics of my location. One word of warning..the standard hood pins will rust big time. (even the pins) once the clips scrap. If you use these type "I" would suggest that you dip the (4) each side securing screws and pins in clear finger nail polish...or stand by to replace often if in lots of weather.

I used a Moroso kit, but the pin cables were short. I just went to Lowes and bought a set of plated torsion ring pins. They work great:thumblef:

Yes, I know people could swipe them, but it hasn't happened yet (knock on wood).
