The hood on my car will not stay up all the way. ('68 400) One option is to continue to use a stick but I’m looking for advice on a more permanent solution. What’s been your experience? Is it as simple as replacing the spring or should I just get new hinges and springs? I think about how many times that hood has been raised and closed over 50+ years – so I may have a problem with not only the springs but the hinges – so it’s about time to replace them? I seem to recall a solution offered some years ago on here – inset a narrower spring (from a Volvo) in the existing spring. Would that work?
