Hi all, no matter how hard I pull the hood release the hood never pops up. I have to get something down the gap between the hood and fender and hook it open. Mechanism seems ok and is lubricated. Any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks Ian (u.k.)
Hopefully it won't be long before a member here with a 67 posts a picture of what you are looking for. And maybe someone has a a parts car and will sell you a spring.

Can anyone send me a pic of the spring I need? I don't ever remember seeing it! Or has anyone got an exploded view diagram like seventy2plus2 suggests? Orkney where I can find one?
I've done an 'image search' on Google but can't find anything.
I will take a look at my 67 Parisienne tonight (currently at work). I am sure it has a V shaped "spring" to pop the hood up enough to grab it after its released.

They look different, probably do the same job provided yours has the same mount points. If you look here at Frank's Pontiac Parts about 2/3 down in the fullsize 67-70's they have a set for a 67. Those look like mine.
