First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Sam,
I was pleased with the way the Eaton springs worked--I went with stiffer shocks as well. I think Hugo's right about the weight in the rear and the need for stiffer springs. But they may be able to make something custom if you want a higher rate but the same ride height. Worth asking, if you didn't already. As for the OHC engine stuff, there's the original shop manuals that have all of the original information. I have also scoured the internet and gotten a lot of extra information, and also gotten a lot of great help form a lister who has been quiet this year, Gary Patrick. There are other forums that are specifically ohc groups ( http://sohcsix.yuku.com/). And if you ask on the group you come across other guys who have learned stuff, too. There's one of the listers (whose name is escaping me right now) who has a business that deals specifically in ohc stuff ( http://www.primatechmotorsports.com/). And I might know something, too, if you ask on the list! At least, I have made lots of mistakes that I am (mostly) willing to share about! Dan 68 Sprint Convertible Re: leaf springs for sprint From: "sam sciadone" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 15:21:30 -0500 Thanks Dan. I called them, and they do not show a heavy duty spring for the sprint coupe. I recall reading in the 1968 sales manual that the sprint had heavy duty rated front and rear springs. Before I order them from Eaton, I was hoping for confirmation. I'm leaning toward the Heavy Duty.....BTW, do you know of any good OHC engine books?
