There isn't one single, universally placed lever. It can vary slightly depending on the trim level and options. To find it:
1. Look under the dash on the driver's side: This is the most common location. Feel around for a small lever that's often near the steering column or further down towards the floor. It might be hidden behind a panel or near the glove box.
2. Check for a pull cable: Sometimes it's a small cable that you pull. Again, usually under the dash on the driver's side.
3. Consult your owner's manual: If you have the original owner's manual for your 1970 Dodge Dart, it will show you the exact location of the hood release.
4. Look closely: Some levers are well-concealed and may be painted the same color as the dash.
Once you locate and release the lever or pull the cable, you should hear a click or feel a release. Then you can usually lift the hood by hand. There might be a hood prop that needs to be extended to hold the hood open.
