Hood Springs for 1956
#41
How did the hood close with both Century springs installed? I realize that hood height is a little lower but that does not bother me much. More concerned with hood staying up and not binding. Appreciate all the foot work you did.

I was more focused on the opening height, which was much lower with the Century springs in place. They are about 1.75" longer than OEM and needed to extend quite a bit before generating enough force to hold the hood. The spring rate is higher than OEM so I imagine they will hold the hood closed just fine.

Just ran across this thread, is there any help I can offer. Have one 56 88 that the hood works well on and I have a 56 98 that the passenger side doesn't like to close without pushing down on rear of pass side of hood.
