Re: Super Stock Spring Hangers

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes Dave , I'm here!  All the info I collected from the list members show 
that different years had some variation in stock spring lengths.  My 
conclusion is , the spring makers have come up with a SS spring  that "will" 
work with several different applications. Hence the hanger extensions.  I 
wonder if a shorter front segment  used with 2" hanger extension , would 
make even less spring wind up? Paul Lenneman had a similar problem as yours 
, except his is a 63 and has a shorter spring.. If the wind up theory is 
correct, I would have a set of springs made up and use those 2" 
extensions......................MO

Thanks for throwing another issue into the mix, Dodger!  Here I am thinking 
all is well, and now I'm scratching my head.  LOL  This is my assessment at 
this point.  The SS spring looks to be about an inch shorter on the front 
segment when I measure and line it up with the stock spring.  (Yes, my car 
has nothing under it at the moment, so all of the old and new parts are 
available for comparison.)  The 2" extended bracket adds 2".  So, it looks 
like the mounting pin is about 1" farther back than stock.  BUT - there are 
two mounting holes to choose from for the front spring eye.  The stock hole 
falls right in the middle of them (up and down).  So depending on which hole 
I choose, I figure the mounting pin will move closer or farther away from 
the stock position.  Closer would reduce my projected 1" difference.  Then 
there's the slight difference in the spring curve, and now I'm out of my 
league mathematician-wise! LOL  Mo - are you out there?

I'm hopeful that any difference there may be will be within a workable 
amount for the driveshaft.  I'm going with that thought based partially on 
other guys doing this swap and not seeing mention of driveshaft issues from 
them.  I'm now at the point of putting it back together with the extended 
brackets and new springs and seeing how it looks.  If it's an issue, I can 
experiment with the two mounting holes or even go back to the stock brackets 
without much hassle.  I'm still having fun, though!

Thanks,

Dave
