Nice mod that can be easily done. In addition to the single factory hood support gas strut some of us have installed a pair of earlier C4 style gas struts to help carry the hood weight.


GM kept installing the bracket hardware after switching to the single long hood strut.
You can picked up the Sachs SG430011 struts off ebay for $8.53 ea.

90 hoods still have the strut attaching studs and all you need are the struts and retainer clips.
Later hoods you have to improvise the studs like I did in the photo above.
I used four 30 x 8 mm black oxide button head allen bolts and nylock nuts picked up at the local Sears HW store.

Thanks Phil. My 90 has these. A PO must have put in the shocks. I didn't realize that later C4s didn't have these as my 85 has them.

As for your signature, you are about 500 wheel combinations behind Dave..
Hey -=JEFF=- Two pics for you. Just below the drivers side headlight bucket. Never had any trouble with it

Phil beat me to the response but he is 100% correct. Heres is mine installed. The early 80s C4 had these but they stopped before the 90s. I scavanged the hardware from and earlier C4 and the shock is dirt cheap. GC

They do if they are new. They only last a few years before they wear out. Probably one of the reasons GM replaced the Guillotine style 2 piece hood brace with the large pneumatic shock in the first place. With our hood shock and these mini shocks in place lifting the hood is almost effortless. GC

I agree. I replaced the ones on my 85 and it did make a difference. One of the "mini shocks" I replaced could be easily compressed by hand .. they do wear out.
