I noticed there are some good points on this topic on a site called mustangsandmore.com under hood alignment.Might help.

I waited until they went on sale and got a set of billet hinges. I am tired of fussing with the hood hinges. I will be powdercoating these black......

You could try to tighten/repair your hinges yourself ? Then check the 69 Shop Manual for the hood adjustment procedure ?

I have used Dynacorn hood hinges on numerous cars. They are okay, no issues. I have a couple new hinges laying around if you want them at my cost.

These are the best I've found https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/store/p/12539-Hood-Hinges-Driver-and-Passenger-PREMIUM-PAIR-Repro-1967-1970-Mercury-Cougar-/-1967-1970-Ford-Mustang.html?attribs=88

I Mark, I have the exact same problem. I am intending on elongating the holes a little. It's on my long to do list.

Not maintaining a battery is the biggest killer of cranking type batteries the way they're designed if you crank on it till it;s under 50% of a full charge it will shorten the lifespan dramatically. If it's a lead acid not keeping them topped off and using a dumb charger will do the same by boiling it dry. I've had 7-8 year old lead acid batteries check out like new the one in my John Deere is a 9 year old Interstate. I like AGM's just for the fact there's no upkeep to them, really doesn't matter what brand as long as it's made in the US. There's an Optima plant 20 miles from here they manufacture batteries for quite a few brands.

Funny ,i always wondered what vacation was !
