I got dinged $220.

Thanks for the offer. I saw more data posted that it is 1.100, but even if that is so, it appears Comp 901s would be lighter than my existing 30 year old springs.

Dartfreak75, just a driver. I was hoping to be able to simply get the car together to enjoy a little bit, but simple seems to be unrealistic. The springs I currently have are unknown, and 901s would be lighter than my 29 year old springs. Chryco Psycho, I'll try to make some calls early next...

Bind is listed at 1.100. By my math there is still 0.080 until bind, but I still don't know if it is all going to be too stiff. Extrapolating the pressure of the Lunati per thousandth of compression (which I know is only ballparking it) is ~0.364 PSI 0.001. Squeezing down on it 0.113 more than...

I looked at Crane 99839, but was unable to find more complete specifications. Couldn't find a listing of Engle springs. Crower, after looking through pages and pages of springs, mostly doubles and others that wouldn't work, so I gave up. I also looked at PAS & PSI, but didn't see anything even...

I looked at Lunati and the 73126 just might do, though they state an installed height of 1.8. Not sure what the result would be on mine at 1.687. I don't think that would be much of a problem, but I will try to verify. Open pressures are a bit higher, but not by much, plus I am not 100% sure of...

Possibly Comp 942, but I'll need different retainers.

My ("new") engine has been sitting for ~30 years, so I pulled a couple springs (singles with dampeners) and tested them, one that had been compressed all this time and one that had not. Installed height measured at ~1.687, and the uncompressed spring tested out to ~290# at 1.180 (0.507 lift). I...

Thanks, folks!

My apologies, but I left off a crucial element in my post. By "correct routing", I was referring to the option of the stock routing with the front lines going over the frame or under the frame. moparleo, gotcha. fasjac, what are you referring o with FSM? Some sort of service manual...

Thanks!

Yep, I kinda figure it will be interesting, but there are a lot of resources available today that we/I didn't have 40 years ago, so hopefully I won't screw up too much. :)

LOL! Sorry, no can do as long as I have my Turbo Regal. A/C, leather seats, and ~470RWHP & ~610RWTQ is something I can't turn my back on. :) It will always be faster than the 'Cuda, but it ain't a 'Cuda. Side note: DANG that engine pic posted super red! It is not that searing of a color!

I know there have been threads in the past regarding correct routing, but does it matter if complete correctness is not the goal? Other than the obvious, what is the difference? Is there anything that mandates one path versus the other? For an entire new system, can I just pick one and go with...

Thanks. Just don't get to close, and it looks fine. :) Dean
