Hood pin cable lanyards?

I have read conflicting information about non-carryover cars and cars built in 1966 regarding the use of cable lanyards with the hood pins. Is there a consensus opinion on 66 cars having lanyards or not?

Easy question that surely has been mentioned in earlier threads here on this site.

Not sure where your reading  but hope they are not general forums where individuals are just posting their opinion or "my brothers/next door neighbors car had them" sort of source, but no they didn't installed lanyards on the cars you've asked about at the factory. Might want to stop using those "resources" that said they did.

Hope this helps you make the right choice.
