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.



Have that same problem when I put an R/T hood on a regular charger.. that added alot of weight... The springs are supposed to be different... according to Ma mopar.. 71& 72 coronet & charger "Sport & fresh air hood" springs should be part #3586094, compared to regular 2 door hoods which use spring # 3586092. 4 door springs are # 3586093. Under the plymouth section 71 &72 satellite 2 door springs would be 3586088 and 4 doors used springs 3586093.. That plymouth stuff doesn't exactly make sense.

You should be happy with some 3586094 springs, if you could find them....
