How long is a piece of string? We need to know what brand of "sedan" you have, and also, what "information" are you looking for. An exploded view, a place to buy one, how to adjust it, or?
If he would offer that information it would help, asking a question is not that hard but having to do detective work just slows down the answers. HRP
I think he may be looking for the safety catch. the one that keeps the hood from flying open at speed if it comes unlatched from the main latch.... http://www.2040-parts.com/53-54-chevrolet-belair-hood-latch-i2264316/
I will assume that the OP wants a "sure" way of ensuring his hood doesn't fly up at speed. Studebakers (of the variety in my avatar) evidently have a "reputation" of coming unlatched and those hoods aren't easily replaced. The trick is a tailgate "cable/strap" off of a 80"s or so Ford pickup. You affix one end to the hood and replace (on a Studebaker) one of the four latch bolts with a thread rod connector that you drill a hold for a snap pin, you ease the hood down, slide the cable end over the connector and insert the snap pin. If you need pictures send me a PM or I'll take a picture and add it here. EDIT check this link out https://studebaker-info.org/Tech/Body/sdc33611.html
