Hood adjustment
I istalled the front spring on my hood. the one on top of the latch. Now the passenger side is to high in the front when it closes. Any quick tips on which way to move the hinge to get it even?

If the hood sets flush with cowl and even gaps at rear I would leave hinge alone and try to pull down latch a little tighter. Be sure to have latch lubed up good. The hood sets on rubber bumpers at the outside edge iirc. You may need to add shims under radiator support mount and re adjust fender. Just try 1 thing at a time. Hood, fender, cowl, door gaps can be frustrating and darn near impossible if you have rusted mounts anywhere.
