Thanks.  No I just used regular plastic with some masking tape that won’t take off the paint when I peel it off.  Though I found that the masking tape I left it on there since I had it blasted in October doesn’t seem to want to come off… so I guess its not meant to stay on for longer then a

RJ,   I have some info on 69 springs but it’s not as detailed as the 67 stuff.  Two charts at http://www.chevellestuff.com/69velle/front_springs.htm show the (1) “Assembly Code” number and specs and (2) spring used by sprung weight – sadly, not very informative for us laymen.  A big block

Yes and no, depends on the year and options involved.  For example, 1967 shows 25 different front springs for Chevelles, 5 of those for 138xx (SS) cars; one each for hardtop and convertible, different spring (but same for both) if either have A/C, and a different spring yet for both if F40
