    Question: leaf spring

    I am replacing the mono spring on my 81 auto transmission and a bit confused in that I think the original spring is the 340 but does the 355 use the same mount kit? I assume it might be different if auto or manual transmission but not sure. Thanks Chuck

    Convertable Top

    In a catalog saw where an air type pillow could be used when the top is down to help prevent damage to the rear window so it does not crease. Has anyone had a problem with this happening? Chuck
