Probably, imo.

If the hood closes like the op wants it, bumpers right, then seems to me lube, then if needed adjust the catch bolt. If that don't work move the catch plate a pinch. If that don't work your latch isn't inline.... speaking for a 71, pretty hard to screw that up. Picture of op's hood?
