1969 Coil Spring question
I have a set of 427 Coil springs I picked up for my 1966 BB and never used. I was thinking they will work on the 69. The stock spring out of the 69 is 15 1/2" tall and the replacement 66 spring is 12 1/2" high.
Zip Products sales their performance spring SU-661 as fitting 65-74 BB and 73-82 350. Here is their product statement:
New coil springs restore ride height and eliminate that sagging front end and mushy ride. Replacement springs are similar to F41suspension, utilizing a shorter spring but a higher spring rate. This makes for an easier installation without the use of dangerous spring compressors.These springs will not affect original ride height.
OK, now after reading all that, the question is: Are 65-74 BB Coil springs the same?? I hate to buy a new set when the 66 set I have will work.
The new set I have is Federal-Mogul P/N 5762
Thanks
