1973 Plymouth Duster 340 Hood Release Cable
To anyone who can kindly assist, I am in search of a Hood Release Cable for my 1973 Plymouth Duster 340.
The inner wire cable is frayed, and it barely works.
I scoped out Doorman, but they do not show a replacement part. Also, I tried the standard auto suppliers but nothing.
Please let me know if you can help.
Thanks,
Paul

I don't know of a guaranteed way to repair your existing cable. There are a lot of variables like length, sheath ID, core OD and termination type. If I was going to try and repairing it I'd consider using the core out of a
kit and
... but, I don't think it's worth messing with.
However, I did find a NOS (New Old Stock) option on eBay and somehow it's cheaper than the reproduction previously mentioned.
Link below:
1972 1973 1974 NOS MOPAR Hood Cable Dart Duster Valiant Dart Sport
At the time of this writing the price was $74.72 (5 available / 11 sold).
Part #3695563
Overall length 79"

If I was going to try and repairing it I'd consider using the core out of a universal throttle cable kit and cable stops... but, I don't think it's worth messing with.
