I didn't think the hinges were worn on my 70 gto ,,,,tried all the adjustments but couldn't get the hood to sit flush with the fender by the hinges. Could push down with my hand and it would stay there. I finally had them professionally rebuilt and now closes perfect every time. Also I got my hood to move a little sideways by loosening the bolts to the hood and pulling the hinge on one side and pushing on the other side. There's a little play in the hinge bolt hole to do this. Could move the whole hood maybe a 1/8th inch left or right.
