Could someone please measure their pop up spring to see how tall it is, As well as counting the number of rings to the spring?

TIA!!!! :cheers:

I was told they just used the one off a 70 rr when they put the sb front end on.

The Superbird hood release pop-up spring (2935 375) is listed in the 1970-71 parts book under Group 15-11-16.  There, the book says that particular P/N fits 1970-71 E-bodies, 1970-71 DODGE B-bodies and all 1970-71 C-bodies (1969 full-size Chrysler models too, if that matters) -- but not 1970 B-body Plymouths for some strange reason.  The next year, 1971 Plymouth B-bodies got the 2935375 spring, but for 1970 the rest of the Plymouth B-bodies just haaaaad to be different.

I'll be working on getting all the rear brake hardware cleaned and ready to reinstall today......hopefully that's what I'll do. Once I hit the shop I can get sidetracked pretty easily. :nutkick:
