IML: Stowing jack in a '59.

[Daniel M Wing <imp1983@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I remember my 1969 Dodge Coronet (and earlier cars) had a coil spring
that
attached to a loop in the floor and to the tab on the jack that fits into
the
bumper.

To stow the jack, you lower the jack on the notched post so that the
spring will
reach when you set the jack in place.  Then you jack it up until there is
enough tension on the spring to hold the jack secure.

To remove, just reverse the jack and jack it down until the spring comes
loose.

The spring is a separate part used only for holding the jack in place.

There is a spring that attaches in a loop in the floor & the other end 
attaches at the part of the jack that raises. I believe these are all the

same at least back to 59 & through 66.
