Hood latch to latch cable

[Dale C.]

Does anyone know when the 68 hood latch to latch cable changed from the cable with a brass barrel stop and screw to the cable with the clevis pin and carter pin type? My car is March 12. The Assy. manual shows the clevis cable type and has some info in the notes about changes and effective dates but I am not sure about the meaning.
Thanks

My April 18 built car has the brass barrel with screw stops.

Looks from the Assy. Man. that the changes occured around 9-4-68 by the revision record on UPC 11-13, A 7. So we do need the 3922201 & 2 covers, the 3935500 Black cable, with the brass barrel type stops.

The dates you see in the AIM are the dates the changes were made to the drawing. It could be several months before the actual change went into production.

Yes, the numbers you give look good for early cars.
