    Anyone know where I can get new hood hinges? I figure they are mostly interchageable. The rear of my hood keeps popping up an inch and it looks lame. I understand that this comes from worn hinges.

    Your hood hinges should be interchangable with:
    71 electra.
    73-75 century.
    76-77 century 4dr
    73-75 Regal.
    76-77 regal 4dr.
    71-76 Riv
    71-78 toronado

    I only have this list of Buicks
    And experienced that the 73 Century were interchangable with a 75 Riviera

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    You can use a hammer and dull chisel to re-compress the rivets. No new hinges are available. Local yard here has a 73 and a 74 Regal. Also, they just got in a 73 LeSabre. If you can't find any hinges locally, let me know at GStage1@buickperformance.com

    Will be at the yard on Sat, need your reply by Fri 11pm Eastern.
