      Features, Description, Q&A

      Features

      • Car manufacturers often made running changes during a model year that affected spring specifications.
      • The build date is important for selecting the correct spring due to notable differences in spring dimensions and end types.
      • The MC1222 spring has an inside diameter of 4.080 inches, with one square end and one tangential end.
      • The MC1294 spring has an inside diameter of 3.625 inches, with tangential ends on both sides.
      • The springs are not interchangeable because of differences in inside diameter and end type.
      • The A-arm cup holds and locates the spring, and the end type secures the spring in place.
      • To determine the correct spring, check the body number plate using the last code numbers on the left side above the rivet hole, which indicate the build date as month and week.
      • The month is indicated numerically (e.g., February is 02), and the week by a letter (A=1st week, B=2nd week, C=3rd week, D=4th week, E=5th week).
      • If the build date falls near the middle of the month, measure the springs directly to confirm the correct one.
      • To measure inside diameter, subtract twice the wire diameter from the outside diameter.
      • Fits 1978-1979 Camaro models.
