    C3 hood latch?

    Picked up a box of parts from a guy that worked on Corvettes 35 years ago. This latch was in the box--it looks somewhat similar to 71 left latch, but different attachment for cable. Is this a C3? What year/s?
    Thanks

    This is either a GM #3922202 or a GM #3948142. The 3922202 is applicable to early 1968, right side. The 3948142 is applicable to later 1968 to late 1969 (about October, 1969), right side. Both are functionally interchangeable.

      Looks exactly like my mid Dec. 68

        Yes, I agree. I think it is the early 68 latch.

          Thanks for the input, guys. Am I correct that the female opening for the pin in the right-hand latch is about 1 1/8", while the left latch opening is 1 3/8"?

            I measure about 1-3/16" for both the left and right side latches.
