Default Hood alignment?

I remember reading about how to align the hood from beneath.
When hood is lying in half closed position.
That one bolt was reachable from under car.
I can not find the post in the search department, and
I can not find this "reachable" bolt.

I hope that anyone can tell me more about this.

thank you - o - o - o - o - o -

Hi RnO,
On my 71 no a/c, 4-speed car, I can reach the bolts from the hinge to the hood by reaching up through the cooling openings in the front valance panel. Your actually reaching up right in front of the core support. The front bolts have easy access, the rear are a bit tougher.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Thanx Alan,

Exactly what I needed to know.
As long as I can fasten the two bolts in front, I can open the hood for
the other two.
