Hi, I am looking for a fellow member on here that was selling aftermarket hood springs that have a softer spring rate not to harm a fiberglass hood but yet strong enough to hold up a stinger flat hood with one of their hurst style scoops on it. If anyone knows who that member is can you please pm me? Thank you:)

I have Harwood springs on my 66 Coronet hood. Just buy the ones that are the closest length wise to the stockers.

Funny you should mention that ... every time I looked at those "light a-body hood springs" that's what I thought they were !!!

Stanton I have looked through the last to months of parts for sale. He either sold them all or no longer has them for sale.

I wonder if the window springs would have enough tension to hold the hood/plus scoop up?

Yes,my buddy used a pair(not sure what year) for his 68 dart with the six pack scoop. Trial and error bending the tang till the right pressure for lift is right
