Factory Leaf Spring Numbers
« on: September 03, 2015 - 05:25:10 PM »
I thought for sure Galen's white books covered leaf springs, but now I can't find the info...

What I'm wondering is if a 340 1970 Cuda uses the same rear springs as a 318 car?

Not from what I see here. looks like 318's are 3420 175 and 340's are 3420 180. Different for 6 pack cars too.

Yes I went through the parts books as well and it does appear as if they used different springs. I was hoping to find a list of casting numbers, not part numbers to confirm
