You can see in post #41 the cuts that I had to make in the latch in order to get it to fit. I made two cuts, one that allowed me to bend the spring arm in slightly and another cut on the upside down U shape. That left me with about an eighth of an inch gap between the latch and condenser and still allowed me to open the latch to the full extent. The hook just touches the condenser when I open the hood. I believe the latches are the same for 67-69 with just some slight modifications for the release handle.
