re-setting hood torsion springs.

Just push down the spring by hand & put it in the hinge. Takes a bit of force, put some a$$ into it! Get a stronger helper if you can't do it alone. Assume you have the hood off, not sure if it can be done w/ hood on.

update- Does a 69 have torsion bars (like early A) or scrolled springs?? If not torsion disregard, does not apply, ask on a different board.
