I have an 84 Vette and had a similar problem. Get a needle nose pliers. If you able, grab a hold of the cable which is just behind the hood release handle, grasp on to it firmly and pull it, but to to hard. Have someone help you to open the hood at the same time if you need to. ...................Matt B.

There's a special tool that'll release the latch by sticking it in between the hood edge and windshield. Any Corvette shop or even a dealer should have this. I've seen it advertised in Vette parts catalogs.

There are hood tools. But if it is stuck, you might have to jack her up, remove the wheel, and back fender skirt. Then the fun begins. If it is broken at the hood connection, you will have to bend a metal rod to reach, and pull.

How do you open the hood of a 1984 Corvette hood?
The hood latch is located up by the windshield. It opens backwards. The hood opens toward the front of the car rather than to the back like most cars. The hood release should be in the left side of the drivers seat compartment. Pull that to release the lock. Run your fingers under the hood lip by the bottom of the windshield and locate the secondary hood latch. Release the lock and pull the hood up and toward the front of the car. If one or both of the hood release cables are broken, Mid-America Motorworks sells a tool to aid you in opening it. http://content.madirect.com/pdf/609637.pdf
