hood question
The hood on my 70 c-30 sticks up in the back on the passenger side corner by the cowl. When I push it down it pops back up. Is there an adjustment I can make on the hinge to cure this or do I need a new hinge?

Re: hood question
Probably going to be the springs, not the hinges. GM still has 'em.

Re: hood question
Loosen the bolts on the hinges at the fender a little bit. With the hood open, push up on the hood. Tighten bolts. If that doesn't solve it, time for new springs or hinges.

Re: hood question
thanks for the help fellas, that worked great. Now the reveal on all 4 sides of my hood is the same.

Re: hood question
Proved me wrong. That's good to know that it can be done w/o $$.
