Hood shocks

weigh the hood at the point of attachment where you want the struts. Like take the torsion bars out and then prop the hood up with a stick where you want to mount the strut and then rest it on a bathroom scale on the fender. Itll give you an idea on what poundage you have to look for in the strut. Too much and your hood will taco (although these hoods are a whole lot more rigid than a modern import). Whats the issue with the torsion bars?
