Thanks,
Although I need the numbers on the springs themselves. I'm looking for the numbers on a set of springs that may have came on a 318 powered car.
In FAST the 440/Hemi springs are useless. If you want the car to hook up you need the junk 6cyl/318 weak springs.
Thanks for posting.. Anybody have the numbers for the standard leaf springs?

I have been looking at this list and have to wonder if the convertibles have a slightly stiffer spring rate more so than a coupe. The wheel housing is actually more shallow at the top due to the convertible top clearance needed. So logically you would think the spring rate would try to counter the wheel from getting even close to bottoming out up at the top of the wheel house. Plus, I would think a convertible is slightly heavier that a coupe?
I had to get my opinion out there. What the real difference is between a convertible spring and the hardtop, I would love to know (except for the explanation Detroit spring said, its a bushing not installed in one vs the other). There is a consistent part number difference between them.

I just pulled 024/034's out of an original 383-4, 4-speed car. Car came with 15x7's. any '70 340/383 B & E-body with an axle package A31 (3.91s) or A36 (3.55s) will have the STANDARD in 440/HEMI torsion bars 780/781 & rear springs 024/034.

There is a consistent part number difference between them. it could be something they learned in 1970 as the similarly equipped '71 340 convertibles have 3400045 springs
