Cuda deck lid torsion spring - 06/16/15 09:27 PM
Is there only one torsion spring on a 73 Cuda?
DO I need to add a second if I put a wing on it?

To the best of my knowledge,
1970, 72-74 all should have 2 torsion springs
71 was a single torsion spring

What was the reasoning behind this? My 73 Has 1 only, its fine with no spoiler on it, but I am scared to put a spoiler on it, don't know if it will stay up.

I have a '72 that I know has the original spring set up. It only has one spring. It does have four holes for the spring end, so you can have different levels of preload. I also have a generic Go Wing that is fairly heavy. My spring is set in the second hole from the rear and it holds the deck lid up OK. Once you start to lower the deck lid it does come down rather quickly and with some force. In any case one spring with the right preload will work.
