Several adjustments

1. Do you have the cowl lacing in place

2. Does the hood latch and relaes smoothly (if this is ok then)

3. Center brace, move it up pusheing the hood up and away from the cowl

4. The hood hinges has some adjust in them, loosen and push up

5. Male sure ou have the right size hood to fender bumpers

hope that helps

loosen the bolts , one at the front, one at the rear under the center hinge, and you can slide the hood forward or back

move the top of the core support forward ( supports the rad ), just loosen the fender and inner fender mounts in the sides of the core support, pull the support and top of the rad forward (along with the hood ), if that won't work lower the core support by removing a pad or shim from the bottom mount.
