Dennis- My 64 had similar problems as well. I adjusted the hood as far as it would go within the factory holes on the fender side of the hinges, but it just wasn’t enough. I assume that’s because it wasn’t anything special to anyone until I got it in 1990. I know it’s been wrecked a couple of times, and has front fenders and hood all off of different cars. I ended up opening up the lower holes just a touch to make everything line up properly.

At present the hood is about 1/4" higher. But... they do not address the issue at all. Am I missing a chapter? Is there a simple procedure?
