How do you open the hood of a 79 Camaro?

The 1979 Camaro hood release is typically located inside the car, under the dashboard, near the steering column. It's usually a lever or a small, pull-style cable release.

To open the hood:

1. Locate the release: Look under the dashboard on the driver's side, often near the bottom of the steering column or sometimes near the fuse panel. It might be a lever that you pull, or a small cable that you pull.

2. Pull the release: Once located, firmly pull the lever or cable. You might hear a click or a pop.

3. Lift the hood: Go to the front of the car, and lift the hood. There might be a hood prop rod or strut that you need to pull out or move into position to hold the hood up. On some cars, there's a catch that has to be released after the hood is partially lifted.

If you can't find the release, consult your owner's manual (if you have one). Alternatively, you can try searching online for "1979 Camaro hood release location" – images from other 1979 Camaros might help you pinpoint it. Be aware that some modifications might have changed the original setup.
