70 Mach 1. Installing new coil springs. Does the flat part go up or down? Thanks Ralph

up.

Where the coil is open, sits in the saddle at the bottom and twist it around so the little 'stop' presses against it.

Are you going with 620's or are you staying stock? Now would be a good time to go with the 620's if you have the old ones out.

What do you mean "the little stop"? The end of the coil? Thanks Ralph

The spring saddle has a little tip on the back side that the open end of the coil will be near too when the coil is installed properly.

Basically, the coil goes in open side down, flat side up, and rotated around so where the coil stops is in the back closest to the sheetmetal side of the tower.

I have a 66 with stock springs-do you think if I upgrade to 620 springs it will stop the tire rub I am getting-I put 215 15 x7 up front and I get some rub when I hit some bumps...Thanks scott

Maybe.

While you have it apart, lower the arm with the shelby drop, then get it aligned to the shelby specs.

Hi-jacking the thread here, but if i do the shelby drop what does that do to the front ride height?

lowers it about 1/4 to a 1/2 inch.
