My rod has never been connected to my engine lid (in either my '92 or '93), but it appears to me that rod is supposed to stay attached to the engine lid at all times, then when you want to hold it open, you unclip it from a U-shaped clip, swing it down and hook it into the strut tower.
The two related part numbers I can find are 64407-17030, engine hood support sub-assy, and 53455-17040, hood support rod clamp. Is the clamp the U-shaped clip, and the part that keeps the rod in the lid part of the support sub-assy?
OT Edit: Is "ramen" supposed to have a capital "RA", or is that just a typo? I've seen it that way several times, and never figured out the point, assuming there is one. Y'arr!

The clamp is the u shaped clip that holds the rod. I would assume that the support sub-assembly is the rod itself. Have you thought about doing away with the whole thing entirely and going to an aftermarket engine lid strut bar?
