Hi
      Sometimes you have to provide a bit of an "angle" to the hood hinge ,
loosen the boltts attaching the hinge to the hood and then loosen the bolts
attaching the hinge to the fender shield ,leave the rear bolts where they
are and push the front of the hinge up,retighten the hood attaching bolts
and try it slowly and carefully so as not to damage  anything. With that bit
of an angle it should pull the hood down ok.

Subject: Hood adjustment



I'm finally down to the details on my '64 Dodge.  Today's project was
getting the closed
hood to line up with the fenders.  The problem is the driver's side
rear most corner where
it meets the cowl.  It sticks up about a half inch.  I know the hood's
spring bracket has
slotted holes to adjust the height of that corner, but I have them
adjusted as low as it'll
go, and it still sticks up.  Adjusting the rubber stop at the front
corner didn't have any
effect either.

If I put my weight on the corner that sticks up, it'll go down most of
the way, but pops back
up when I let off.  Is there another adjustment I don't know about?
Or maybe the hinge or
bracket is just worn out...

Thanks,
