Is there a difference on the 67 vs the 68 hood latch? I have a 67 hood and a 68 latch on a 67 car. the painter says it doesnt line up and wont work. Do I need a 67 latch?

thanks for any help it is much appreciated.

I bought a new 400 hood to put on my 67 and was told it needed the '68 latch.

as far as i know there is no difference in the latches for 67-69 i had to tweek my mount for my 400 hood, i had to elongate my latch mount holes for the rest of the adjustment i needed, easy to do i just used a burr bit on my drill
