Get an assistant to help. Have the helper open and hold the hood all the way up. You will loosen the bolts on the back mount bracket to the hinges, and on the firewall.
Now push them down along the firewall as far as they will go. Tighten the bolts on the firewall only. Now loosen the bolts on the front of the hood hinges. Have the assistant push up on the hood. Be mindfull of the back of the hood, so it does not ding the fender chrome trim.
With the assistant pushing up, tighten all the bolts.
Now use an oil or axle grease to lube up the hinge pivot points.
As a note, you are not touching the bolts that bolt the hood to the hood hinge, just the hood hinge brackets.
Ok. Will give it a try when i can find help, thanks
I'm sorry to say but mine was like that for years until I had a front end Accident and an auto body shop fixed it. I ask them how they did it? They said it took three men and hours of adjusting to get it right. Every time you would move one part the other part had to be adjusted until they got it right.
Guess i will give it a try, to syat out of body shop
Yeah, body whole different thing, car seems to be going ok. Gonna hold off card rebuild i think . If car sputters again , just gonna gas it and consider it intermittant unexplained untill it becomes a consistent repeatable problem
Hvnt gotten under there yet, planning on tomorow or wed.
If you go to the search bar at the top of the web page and type in hood alignment, you will find a lot of information on the subject. I hope this helps you

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
