The drivers side of my hood lines up with the cowl where it is supposed to, but the passenger side is about a half-inch to one inch higher than the cowl. Anyone have any good tips to get this thing to fit into the cowl as designed? Both sides seem to fit the fenders OK.

There is a tech tip on adjusting the hood and it can still be a booger. Worked on mine for a couple weeks then one day.....bang, had it figured out and tightened in about an hour. Read the tech tip two or three times to really understand what is being ssid. Its easy to get the "hinges" and the "springs" mixed up so read slowly.

..for my .02 do not hook up the springs until the hood is set. That was the key to my problems. Once the hood was where it was suppose to sit I then hooked up the springs. What a difference.

I'm sure others will chime in. There are several threads about this. Do a search and you'll find plenty to read.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
