Are you saying you have hinges but, they hood is higher in the rear? If so, there is a procedure on here about adjusting the hood correctly. :2cents Craig

The 69+ hinges only open to about 60°, not as far as the earlier style, which open to dead vertical (90°). One can pull an engine with the ealier hinges weithout removing the hood.

The hood hinges on my 66 had to be slotted at the firewall to get a proper fit for height and width
