I have a 69 Toronado that has a broken hood release handle so you have to use pliers to open it. Any suggestions on where to find a new part or clever work around.

If it's just the t-handle, I think Fusick repops it. It's also used on similar year Cutlass.

I'll check into it today. Thanks for all the help you have given me. BTW today I am taking delivery of my second 69 Toronado. I found another one with the bucket seats and floor console option. VERY VERY RARE!

I have opend the hood of my sivler 68 many times without the T-Handle.
First you have to gently open the left side grille, then have your hands above the finned second grill (you have to slide your arms in as well.
When you find the "hood tab", I use both tumbs to push down on it.
I'll PM my number if you need me to walk you through it.

VER VERY RARE and VERY VERY HARD TO FIND!!!!
Heck I have heard through the TOA, that (so far) club members know of less 1969 W-34s than '68 W-34s.

I got my first 1969 in 1992. It was a major parts car,200,000+ miles, the rear quarter was cut out, there was a railroad tie welded to the front shock tower,etc.
All I have left is the 455 and THM 425 unit. To answer your question, yes the tranny code does say OM!
