What am I Missing? 1991 Ford F-350 hood latch

[Doofy]

If the latch is staying in that position it might be sticking or the spring is broken.

Your latch looks cleaner then most I'm use to, maybe it was replaced and not adjusted properly.

When you close the hood does is go down all the way and pop back up or does it stop before it's closed? If it stops does it fell like its rocking on the latch in the center?

I need to lower my snowplow solenoid that is sticking up 3/4" above the highest point of the radiator and get out the Prussian Blue to see what needs to be adjusted. I feel better now that I understand all this.

I just didn't want to looking for the non existent catch the rest of your life lol

Hahahaha! Me neither. That type of problem keeps me awake at night.

I just moved the Latch out a little for the photo. It operates properly.

We KNEW you could/would do it...

Another example of "pictures do help".

And Only nine Pages! I think figuring out the O Ring issues on the space shuttle booster rocksts only took six!

That, they do. All I needed was a good photo. I even went out to my boneyard and looked at the old Pinto and it was the same. I still thought something was missing.

Problem Solved! Thanks everyone for the help and your input. There were no parts missing (except the reasoning portion of my brain). I just could not get my mind around Ford's minimalistic approach to hood latching (simply a latching finger over sheet metal).

In all these years you haven't extended the amount of posts per page in your profile yet? 10 per page drove me nuts, I think I jumped it up to 20...

Funny, I just realized something. If someone says something nice about me, that's good. If someone says something negative, that's OK. But when someone says something I don't understand, I find that somehow disturbing. :confused3:

Oh, let me see if I can help. You see it as 9 pages. I see it as 3 pages. Others may see it as a different amount of pages. It depends on how you have your number of post's per page set up.

I getcha. Thanks. With people often talking about number of pages for a given thread, I never heard that mentioned.

Sometimes my cat comes and steps on my keyboard and changes the size of everything. I am at a total loss to fix it, other than shutting down and starting the computer again. There are no labels on my keys telling me what they all do! :confused2:
