Alright I was setting my choke on the carb for winter weather and well I shut the hood and now I can't get it open. I pulled the lever and it didn't feel like it had tension on it. So I was sticking my fingers into the hood grille and I found out that the cable had come out of the hood latch mechanism. I don't know how the cable and little ball end got out of the hood latch. But it did and now the hood won't open. I tried sticking screw drivers and pry bars between the bumper and hood to move the hood latch lever. I think I was moving it but nothing happend. Either I'm not moving it enough or it won't pop it without the cable attached. I'm about to hack saw my hood grille right off just to be able to see what the hell I'm doing.
I need some help so please post.

I knew I should have done hood pins, but I thought it would be dumb since the car doesn't have 200hp or more. I think I will put a set on the hood after this is all fixed.
