Atomic Dog sells them here and on other sites. I have a set and they work great.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

I have Harwood 210 part # gold medium tension springs on my car. I have a bolt on fiberglass custom made shaker hood by me, but it is not a race weight extra light hood. They also have a 200 part # that is a low tension silver spring and also a 215 part # that is a high tension black spring. I would try the 210 gold springs for your hood also.

VFN sold me a pair when I bought the hood from them for my 67, they work great, they had a couple of different rate springs, any fiberglass shop that sells hoods should sell them. What was the # weight of springs, I plan on using a glass hood with the RO scoop on my 66
