GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The new front end appearance of the 1967 Chevrolet
and Chevelle passenger cars affects the servicing and
replacement of the chassis sheet metal. Refer to Section
13 for Radiator and Grille service procedures, Section
14 for Bumpers, and Section 1A for Air Conditioning
components. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the Chevrolet
and Chevelle sheet metal components.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
HOOD ADJUSTMENT
The alignment of the hood is controlled by the position
of the hood hinges and the height of the two bumpers lo-
cated one at each side of the radiator support. The ad-
justment at the hood lock must be made after the hinges
and bumpers are properly adjusted. To align the hood
and lock proceed as follows:
HOOD HINGE (Fig. 3)
NOTE:
The body mounted portion of the hood
hinges are slotted to provide up and down move-
ment. The hood mounted end is slotted to pro-
vide forward and rearward movement.
1. Scribe a line around the entire hinge plate to be re-
positioned.
2. Loosen the appropriate screws and shift the position
of the hood into correct alignment using the scribe
marks to check amount of movement. Check align-
ment by tightening screws and closing the hood.
HOOD BUMPERS
Adjust hood bumpers so that hood top surface is flush
with the fender and grille top surfaces. Refer to Fig-
ures 4 and 5 for correct sheet metal adjustment dimen-
sions.
HOOD CATCH AND LOCK
The hood catch assembly (fig. 6) mounting holes are
slotted to provide adjustment for the hood lock bolt. Ad-
just the hood lock bolt until hood engages securely when
closed and hood bumpers are slightly compressed.
