I'm doing final details on my 66 Charger build, And no matter how high or low I put it, It doesn't latch. It worked fine before the build. Any Ideas?

All good advice but I would start by simply using a screwdriver or by hand and close the latch
Lever and see if it locks closed. Do this without closing the hood if it latches up doing that then it’s for sure an adjustment issue.
 
Shooting ideas out there can do wonders when someone is in a pinch.
I had something similar happen with my 66. This is a good site. Lots of folks that like to help with the ideas they have. Makes the tasks easier.
I agree I've gotten a lot of good advice during my build.

Very true hope some will learn.
