aligning a 48 hood
I am looking for tips. The closest I have been able to get mine is a 1/2" gap. Have new hinges and support arms. I am aiming for a 1/8" gap but would be happy with a 1/4". All suggestions will be much appreciated.

Re: aligning a 48 hood
Try this, loosen the 3 attachment bolts and rotate both sides in the same direction as far as they will go, tighten and check.
You may have to go in the opposite direction but this is a dance that you will have to do in order to get just the right spot.

Re: aligning a 48 hood
If you can get a copy of the V-8 Times, dated May/June 2009, there is a detailed two page article on aligning the '41-'48 hood.

Re: aligning a 48 hood
remember the more you raise the hinges on the cowl the lower the hood travels down

Re: aligning a 48 hood
Like fordor41 states, every time you move one area, it affects another. If you read the article in the V-8 Times as I suggested you can get a better understanding as how it all works.

Re: aligning a 48 hood
If you can't enlarge the instructions that Graeme posted, I can copy it and send it to you by mail.

Thanks for the offer Woodie. Graeme has emailed them to me and hopefully tomorrow when my office opens we can enlarge them.

Re: aligning a 48 hood
Goggle "Mark Kicsak V-8 times". He has an article on aligning a '46-48 hood.

Re: aligning a 48 hood
Thanks FortyNiner. I clicked on the site you posted, now have it saved, and was able to read Mark Kicsak's article. Plan to get back at it again tomorrow.

Re: aligning a 48 hood
If you go to the V-8 Club website you can contact the club members who sell the V-8m Club books. If they have the '09 back issue you need you can purchase it.
