Naw...that's not what it means at all!
It's what all of us do that own 67-72 Ford trucks every time we open the hood!
We "bump" our heads on the hood latch mechanism!

Re: wondering
very true, I've been thinking of making a sock of some sort to put over that thing when I'm under the hood. Perhaps an oven mitt.basketcase0302 wrote:Naw...that's not what it means at all!

Re: wondering
LIft hood all the way up, clamp vise-grips to the flat spots on the hinge, do not fail to remove before trying to close hood. This keeps it up where the factory originally intended.
