I ordered a new 9 leaf spring for the 68 BB. Wanted to keep it original as possible so did'nt opt for the fiberglass. When I finally wrestled this thing in place, it seemed thicker than old one. Only getting about 4 threads into diff.cover.
Used a jack on both sides to try to flatten out spring to tighten bolts but started to raise car off jack stands.
I looked at all my parts catalogs and appears that only 1, 9 leaf spring is available.
Old spring measures 2 3/8 and new spring measures about 3". Will that eventually flatten out??
