So I removed the reproduction fiberglass filler panel which definitely appears to be thicker than the plastic one on my 72 455 as well as incorrect it appears on a 71 400. Hood seems to close with much less effort without the filler panel installed. Also made a conscientious effort to push back a bit on the hood when closing.
Thanks for all your commets, ideas and insight.
Much appreciated
