Good too high. If I lower the latch anymore, it won't catch. What's the trick? Thanks

Check your hood bumpers?

Check your hood bumpers?

They are off in front, and non adjustable in rear

Probably your problem.. looks like you need the one touching on the drivers side to bring the passenger side down.

The hood also may be warped a small amount. The way to find out is to remove from the car, set it down on blocks of equal size/height on a surface you know to be dead flat. Lift the rear edge up a few inches by the center point and measure down to the floor at each rear corner. Then set those corners down and lift the front edge at the center and measure both front corners down to the floor. Each side should match. if one corner doesn't match it's mate then it's warped.
Also measure from the bottom of each fender at the same point, to the floor once the car is at a perfect level left to right as taken across the top of the radiator frame. If different then one fender is either bent or needs to be adjusted up or down at the front. Lots of other places to measure or check level.

This is telling us it is hitting something before it latches. Push down on the hood on each corner does it move or is it solid? Those bumpers screw in and out to adjust.
How does the other corner fit?

Did you lubricate the latch?

You can latch it, then push it down nice and level. Hoodbumpers are not installed yet, other corner is up the same amount

Are you sure the latch and catch are installed correctly and are for that car model? Is the center of the hood hitting the air cleaner?'

Yes,all original. You can push down on the hood when it's latched, and it lines up

So..what your saying is that the latch bar is dropping into the catch fingers as it should but the hood edge still is high? Right? And if you adjust the catch down lower the hood bar doesn't latch. right? Why? Because the hood frame stops it from going low enough? Or , what? Because absent damage and ,or, wrong parts it should latch and be adjustable up and down. You say that you can push down on the hood and it moves and lines up. Does it bottom out when you do that? Where does the latch bar end up when you push it down? It must still be within the catch fingers still but it wont latch if you adjust it down. Right? hmmm.... take some pictures of your set up and post them up please. The latch should capture the descending bar and hold that against the upwards pressure from the hood release spring mounted next to the latch. I guess I don't understand how you can push it down and that's within the latch capture zone but if you adjust the latch downward it wont catch. What's stopping it from catching? The bar wont reach? The latch runs out of downward adjustment before you obtain the correct hood height? Trying to help here. lol.

Found the trick, had to put latch down at a slight angle. If I went down straight, wouldn't latch
