Thats what I'm seeing as I research this. Doesn't look like the supports that hold the spring have any provision for using two springs on a 71 model & I'm pretty sure the single is a larger diameter which means the plastic guide the deck lid hinge rides on is probably different as well?


I think the cars that left with one spring are only setup for one spring, at least my 72 is. I cannot upgrade to dual torsion springs. Loading the single bar enough to keep the decklid up [barely] with a spoiler caused the decklid to twist when shut. For now, I removed the spring until I can get to a strut of some sort.
