Speaking of hood hinges... Mine must need some Viagra.

The hood on my 71 Road Runner opens and closes fine. However, the hood does NOT like to stay up. If the hood is up and I start the car, it'll come crashing down before I can even get out of the car and back out front. What's up with that? Are these "new" E-body hood hinges the same? If so, I just might buy a new pair. Car is apart for engine compartment paint anyway... Now would be the perfect time to fix said issue.



Loose pins are the problem & I'd be real surprised if the teeth weren't worn badly as well.

The repro E-bodies will fit your 71 B-body, but are slightly different on the base dimensions. I haven't had a set of these to look at yet to see how well they're made; I have my doubts about the teeth fit. They're modeled after the 71-2 style Ebody hinge.
