I think GM discontinued them after 88 or so, but left the "studs"

Thanks
I just bought two of these Hood Supports (one for a 90' and one for a 91'). These new Hood Supports will actually hold the hood up without the stop in place and you actually have to apply a slight down pressure to get the hood to easily and slowly start to close. Amazing what a New Hood Support actually is capable of.

If I pull the hood down about 6 inches and let go it will actually go back up to full open
