How many coils are they? You may have gotten AAR springs by mistake.

I counted 33 full coils and 2 more 3/4 of a coil ( on the ends)

Those are not oem springs. The straight section between the hook & first coils is toooo long.
I counted 34.25 coils on whatever that spring is, T/A springs have 36.75 coils.

I'm pretty sure I got them from Tom at RT specialtys. I knew they were brand new, or repops, but they don't work!
Who has springs that will work?

Someone was reproducing them, but I do not remember who.
I have heard that the uploader is full again, so send me an email & I will send you some photos of a real one with dimensions.
