see forward look parts , the solution to this problem ( falling CDE hoods) has been improved to now add inner helper springs to your old ones instead of a new heavier main spring Engineering error at Chysler — for sure — not enough room for spring they needed , not just width ,length(!) The ratio of extended to folded in space allowed at needed force is inadequate . Thicker wire means fewer turns the long way , actually makes yield of steel worse .Higher yield steel was tried, marginal Stretched too far , a steel spring will yield= ruined . Spring engineer I went to could not brlive how incompetent that hood spring design was By the way , same reason even first hemi had dual valve springs for the same reason : preset height / spring space cannot be raised for longer( taller ) spring due to 45 degree hemi valves( means all new higher rockers that have shafts farther apart) Dual and triple springs with thinner wire allows more turns , better close to open force ability in a given height Liisa will be glad to help you with an inner hood spring kit Contsct firwsrd look parrs ( not me) due to logistics Thanks, to all John On Apr 4, 2025, at 1:05 PM, Gloria Moon <agmoon300@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: -- For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylang --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chrysler 300 Club International" group.
