Front coil springs
I'm rebuilding the front suspension on my '71. The coil springs had "HT" tags - small block with A/C. Would the 460# spring be a good replacement ? I don't want to change the stock ride height.
Thanks

Mine is a SB with A/C also, I used #550 springs but cut them 1/2 coil ... this lowered the car an inch and half. So I think that the 550's natively would still lower the car a bit, leaving me to beleive that the 460's yo mention are the right ones for stock height. You'll be OK with them.
