Thanks all.
HA52,
There is a screwdriver slot in the end of the pin. That way you can count how many rotations in either direction you have adjusted it. Works slick.
Then, I suppose you're expected to tighten the nut inside the spring. Doesn't look like an easy fit for a wrench. Since the pin seated pretty well with the screwdriver treatment (makes sense--it was adjusted before I got it) I left it there for now.

The height of the plunger is somewhat important as is the centering.
HH56,
I thought it might be, as the spring and plunger have some "wiggle room" before tightening, but they say nothing about this in the '51-'54 manual that I can see. I'll look on the site here for more info on hood adjustment. I suppose the '55s, with the same hood, have the same closing mechanism.
