Hood Adj
What is the combination to get the hood on a 76 to fit properly, The main problem is the back is way to high and front about right but still to low. It looks like a simple fix but I cant seem to make it right.

Did it fit proper before? It could be that the hinge springs are weak, that is why the back sits high. Also the hinges can be adjusted where they bolt to the inner fender.
