69 Camaro front coil springs HY ??

[Nova Research Project]

That page lists it as EA. I'm a Nova guy, so I did not have that on my spring list.

I would still like to know if the car was a early 09D or late 09D.

Now this looks clearer. It looks like they changed the Assembly code for the same part number. That is why I asked Doug to try the spring calculator. It uses the table on page 7-65. I only published the Nova springs on my site.

BTW they figured that these calculations were to difficult. So in 1970 the service springs were greatly reduced for the Nova. Also the later parts books eliminate spring numbers and add letters to other part numbers. On springs you have to use the closest parts book to the year of manufacture.

Oh yeah 3955707 was the one listed for a 66 Chevelle. Se page 7-15 last line.

Greg, I am sure it is a early car due to the vin number which equal a 09 D 1968.I am the second owner of the car and the previous owner did very little to the car but drive it.I have the ID tags and they are definitly a HY code with the 3955707 tag.
I did your calculater and it was 302 with the HA coil sring code. I also did the calculater in Ricks and it read 306 with a HB or a EA code.The HB is listed for a conv.and EA is for a L-35 etc.
My car is a L-35 convertible and like I said it was a one owner car with most of the parts never removed.One of the front springs was broke when I removed it.

EA was also used on the 3955707. So the code might have switched earlier. Any chance of getting a straight on high resolution picture or scan of the tag?

Thanks,

And look for a possible Paint Color Dab identifier on that spring too...Geekin here.

Greg, I sent you a photo of the coil sprig tag. Let me know if that is how you wanted it ??I checked for paint dab but the springs are pretty rusty. What color dab should be on them and where?So I guess I would have to go with a EA sping?????

Thanks Doug

Yep use the EA spring. It should be the same specs.

I have not seen a paint daub on a spring yet. I know it was does on some years.

It is hard to get a clear close up. I think I can work with the picture.

Thanks,
Greg
