Re: 78 hood hinges
Imo just keep the gm hinges and keep em lubed. Had a truck get stiff once wd40 and better than new. Also I like to push In as much as pull down on these hoods helps prevent taco. Just don't bolt those silly stiffeners on your hood you'll end up beheaded.

Re: 78 hood hinges
Use your factory hinges, and use electrosis to clean out the rust

Re: 78 hood hinges
I have had 2 out of 3 after market hinges that did't line up very good. I just recieved a right hand GM hinge from Classic Ind. The right side was a lot cheaper than the left. After taking the after market hinge off 3 times and grinding out the holes and the hood was still to high. I wanted the real thing. It works great.
