Default Re: Hood adjustment

It is a 28. The last thing I did was tighten and attach the hoses.

Here are photos of the hood:














What I hope shows is that the gap along the cowl along the passenger side is wide, that the front on the same side is tight, with more of a gap at the top. I have tightened the firewall to radiator rods to their tightest and there still is a gap. The gap on the driver's side is not as great, but still significant and at the rear of the hood, there seems like there is more of a gap than there should be.

I have added shims to the hood rood connector on the cowl.

It looks like radiator should be pushed back, if it can be, and the radiator is too high, causing the large gap at the bottom of the cowl.
