Default Re: installing front coil springs 396/375 nova

Ive used spring compressors similar to the Napa brand on 600 lb front springs for 69 camaro, these are much stiffer than a standard big block spring. Make sure its a quality unit, the hooks that go onto the spring need to be steel, not a cheap casting as some of the knock off brands use, also the threaded rod that goes thru the middle of the compressor and the nut are in good condition.

68z28kk, Im interested in tool you have, can you give more details?
