From what I can see in the pictures the hood looks like it has been bent at the dash preventing it from going forward enough. If that is the case you might be able to hammer it out.

That’s what I think also. I need to look at some others close up. Thanks.

I am guessing that's a new replacement Radiator if so that may be the problem, I don't see that the hood is bent enough at the dash to cause that much miss alignment. Shortening the upper hose won't help that situation the radiator is already tipped way back looking at the angle it sticks up at. I have read a lot of complaints from members here about the lousy fit of new replacement radiators that one isn't even close. Let us know what you find. BTW if you still have the old radiator it would be worth your while to have it repaired the new ones are no where near as well made as the old ones, but finding a radiator repair shop may be a problem good luck and give us an update.

Hello,
That’s exactly what it is. And yes, I do not think the dash end of the hood is not bent bad enough to throw it off that much. My oil air breather won’t line up with my outside cyclone air filter either. Off by about an inch or a little more.
I think its the radiator also. My old one, I do still have. But it does need some work. I’m still trying to get it to crank right now. I’ve replaced everything. I’m thinking compression now.
My older brother gave me this 1950 8N. And I’m a pretty good shade tree mechanic. But this has got me bumfuzzled. Thanks for your input.
