exactly                should the hood sit  all the way down on stops if post is removed  it will not 
will try adjusting better 
thanks for the info

I have adjusted the post in each direction for the spring tension and it will not catch . If you look after partial closing manually the safety latch is all the way in the catch
It seems that we can not get the post spring to the correct tension to pop up just enough to catch and be at the right height with the header panel
just checked my second gen and similar latch and does the same thing . confused
should the hood sit  all the way down on stops if post is removed, it will sit up several inches and not sit down on its own ?

had that issue so replaced all latches , when what seems adjusted correctly moved lever on release and goes right up and not catch but push down manually catches every time 
when adjust post spring for less force hood is out of adjustment
Can someone check their hood release ,I have never really checked for this in the past ,owned the car 20 years and no issue before
thanks

when you open the hood should the safety latch catch ?

agree SS wrong the 3877203 spring is correct and shorter . Does  the short spring have less tension in opening the hood  ?

I have used the correct GM part number in my search and in some listings show different length than the GM part ?
does the shorter spring have less "tension"  the 9" that came with the goodmark was too strong

do you know the spring length , reading different info , had a goodmark set and hood would pop up , too strong a spring  want to get it right

what is a good hood hinges and latch  for a 69 Camaro with a cowl hood and the correct spring ?
worn and needs replacing too worn to refurbish
