The rebuild spring is considerably longer and stronger than original and also doesnt have protective cups. Would you guys rebuild with original spring or new spring? 7601629-WP_20130216_001copy.jpg (38 downloads) 1973 Charger, former SE, former auto I'm not trying to be difficult, it comes naturally....

Some kits are a hodgepodge of mixmatched parts. You just need good seals & a properly prepped bore that ain't too oversized for a good seal live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
