I know this applies to the 72, but may be the case for the 74 as well. There is a lever on the left side of the glovebox, pull this and if it's attached it should release the front hood latch. If not, you may have to use some tools to manually release it, which usually works eventually.

There is a handle on the drivers side, to the left, just above the floor board. Pull this handle toward you and you will hear the hood pop. Go to the front of the car and pull the hood up. At this point a tongue like mechanism will come out in the middle, right under the partially lifted (about a quarer of an inch of space between hood and bumper)hood. Pull this toward you and it will release the hood, thus opening it.
