64 hood hinges
I have what appears to be two good hinges on my 64 F 100 hood; does anyone know why, when I close the hood the rear sits about a half an inch above the cowl? Do I need to get new hinges or just new hinge springs?

Yep, common failure.
As above, replacement is most usually needed. I've been told, but have not attempted, that hammering the rivets to try to tighten them up will sometimes work.
I haven't picked up a Hemmings in years, but there was an advertiser who rebuilt hood hinges. I don't know how competitive it may be to simply buying new.
