: :Charlie, my '77 Comet has the short-passenger side support. I posted the question of why mine is short and on the opposite side about 9 months ago and Craig responded that they changed it for '77. Then to confuse things further, another Maverick owner then posted saying that his '76 had the short one. Boy! I think sometimes they must of flipped a coin and decided what parts went on these cars. -Doug
: : Ok, I have found three different types of hood props. The first is the 1970 version (picture shown). Craigs car has this prop. The second moves the hood prop to a hole more towards the edge (this hole is not on the hood in the picture). Later, around 1974 or so (someone help me here) it moved to the passenger side & was short.
: : I need some input & years. My hood has been replaced with a later version. When did these changes occur?
