SUBJECT: NEW HOOD LOCK/GUIDE PIN MECHANISM ISSUE: 05/86-846 RUNNING CHANGE
APPLICATION: 1986 9000
A new hood lock/guide pin combination was introduced into new car production from VIN Serial No:
G1006124-
The hood lock (P/N 92-79-480) has been improved by adding a thicker support washer. The guide pin (P/N 92-78-557) is now longer to coincide with the new lock dimensions. A better release and locking of the hood was achieved with this change.
Hood Lock Assy. P/N 92-79-480
Guide Pin P/N 92-78-557
Earlier cars may be fitted with the new lock mechanism but only by fitting both the new hood lock and new guide pin. The old guide pin (P/N 92-61-686) will not work in conjunction with the new hood lock assembly.
Note: The 9000 has two hood locks and should be replaced in pairs.
