Mike, you might be able to solve part of the hood problem by "squeezing" the top of the hood together. Sometimes when hoods set on the ground, the bottom pannels will flare out, or the center of the top of the hood gets pushed down. When you have the hood off, turn it upside down & support it on both sides, as close to the side pannels as possible. Be sure to support it both in front & in back of the gauge holes. The center of the hood HAS to be off the floor. Then you have to force the center of the hood down. I've used a short chunk of 2X8 in the steering rib & smacked it a couple of licks with a 4lb hammer all along the length of the rib. If you work right in the steering rib, it'll force the center "down" & the sides "in". This will bring the center of the hood up & make the exhaust & air intake holes "move" toward the center a little more. You have to decide where you need the most change in the configuration of the hood to make it fit & concentrate the force in that area. It doesn't take a lot of change in the center to make a big difference in how it'll fit, so you will want to check the fit often as you are working on it. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
