Hood swap problems

Has any one else ran into this? Tried to put a hood from my 74 duster parts car on to my 73 and with the hood latch all of the way down the hood was still a 1/2 to high at the front . Did noticed some differences where the stops go tried to adjust them down but no-work. SO I put the 73 hood back on... Guess I'll just have to weld up the holes for the hood pins that were poorly done. So now I guess that 73 is all by it self. The 74 matches the 75 of my sons.
Any ideas?

Thanks, Paul
