Best Answer

there is a cable under the nose, it's a t-handle. pull down. if the hood only pops up part way and then won't go up anymore, lift the hood until it stops and then pull the t-handle again REALLY HARD. sometimes you also have to put upward pressure on the hood as you pull the handle. I called 4 Pontiac dealerships and none of the mechanics knew how to open it. many were condescending and incorrect at the same time. it took me three days to figure this out.

So, got the same problem, but after pulling really hard, a little washer with a sharp shim like piece pinged on the floor. Now my t handle and cable is sorta just hanging out the little groove and won't slide back (i don't want break it further).

The taillight of a 1979 Firebird is different from that of a 1979 Trans Am because several different models were made that year. This was to present the complete overhaul to the Trans Am that the company did that year.
