I had a similar problem on my '91. After popping the hood repeatedly over the past year it has gone away.

Try cleaning off the latch and relubing it.

Try spraying silicone or adjusting the 2 round rubber hood bumpers(mounted on the edges of the top rad. support)

Hoodpins are cool, but you have to be on the look out for those janky thieves. IF you can find a way to lock them it would be just fine. Not ricey if you ask me.
