I don't remember having to grind the slots on my 70 hinges when I put a 72 hood on it but it was about 25 years ago so I don't really remember.

Here is a pick of a 73 hood with the rod and bracket screwed to the hood. Notice the raised spot on the under structure to prevent the screws from hitting the underside of the outer hood.
