Front Coil Springs
I have two sets of coil springs for the front suspension. One set is for a 68 small block coupe. The other set is for a 69 big block coupe. My problem is that I do not know which set is which. And I want to put the small block springs on my car. Is there a way to tell the differrence? Such as diameter of the coil. Or thickness of the metal coil? Or even the height of the spring?
I would not want to put the big block springs on my car that will have a small block in it. This would probably raise the front of the car by a couple of inches and make it look wierd. Any ideas?
