Default hood release cable problem and air filter recommendation

Hey guys:

Just wanted some advice on two things:

1) This was posted in a previous note but there wasn't too much response. My hood is not locking down and I know that the cable isn't broken so it must be something with the locking mechanism. I tried pushing it down with a screwdriver to make sure it goes all the way down but that isn't helping. The only thing holding the hood down right now is the secondary latch so it looks like hell and it's dangerous too.

Do you have any advice on how to get the mechanism to turn over and lock up when the hood loop goes into it?

By the way slamming the hood down isn't working out for me..................

;-)

2) Has the brand of air filter made a big difference for any of you? I've used all kinds (Fram, Wicks, other off market stuff) and haven't felt much of a difference but I'm open to suggestions as I am going to buy a couple this week.

Thanks a lot,

Paul
