I know this sounds stupid, but it works, put washers under the
FRONT bolt holding the hood on (between the hood and the hinge). 
It works with trucks. You can go as much as 3/4 of an inch 
before it stops working.

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,
