BB CAMARO SPRINGS
 

HOW CAN I TELL THE DIFF BETWEEN BB AND SMALL BLOCK FRONT SPRINGS? BY HEIGHT? COIL SIZE? I HAVE A NEW SET OF SPRINGS
WITH NO NUMBERS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO BE FOR A BB. THANKS

That's a good question and it would be nice to see a chart with the springs' general height while with the spring removed and sitting on the ground and also a measurement the wire diameter with a set dial calipers. I couldn't believe how the ride height of my old Camaro changed when swapping from a ZZ4 Small Block to an iron-headed BBC. I expected it drop somewhat but was still surprised at how drastic it was! Does such a chart exist?

NOT THAT I KNOW OF,I DIDNT TAKE OUT THE OLD SPRINGS YET BUT THATS NOT FAR OFF. I HAVE A 68 CAMARO L78 WITH 20K ORIGINAL MILES 2 OWNER THAT IM ABOUT TO DISASSEMBLE. I HAVE WHAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE A NEW SET OFBB SPRING FROM ANOTHER PROJECT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO USE IF I CAN VERIFY

Shhhh stop yelling

I've been able to ID springs before using David Pozzi's chart. Also check to see if there is a number stamped on it, usually somewhere on the end coil.

I agree. Keep the originals if you have them. I have never found a set of repro springs that let the car sit properly.

Your probably right, there is nothing wrong with the springs I just thought I would replace them during the resto
