Re: 69 COPO Camaro Coil Spring.......code #'s ????????
You know, this issue has been debated numerous times here.
I looked at that front coil spring calculator last year,
but it seemed that there were so many variables to consider.
Does anyone here know, or have a reference chart regarding
all the front coil springs that were made for the '69 Camaro?
Do any members here have original springs that they
can use to verify tag codes?
I would assume that for big block, there are the determining
factors:
1 - L/35 and L/35
2 - Muncie or THM400
3 - L/78 or L/89
4 - A/C ( L/34 & L/35 only )
5 - 3 or 4-core radiator
6 - hardtop or convertible
As all BB Camaro's had SMOG and cast iron exhaust manifolds,
that can't be a factor. Nor can power brakes as that was
mandated. Would P/S add significant weight to require a
different spring pressure?
Can springs be clipped to reduce the ride height to a "desired"
height? If so, is there a formula ( other than try-it )?
Lastly, what exactly is the proper ride height? Paul's
Blue SS looks perfect to me. Got a ride height for us Paul?
