Heart Beat City does. I bought a pair 3 years ago and I'm very satisfied with correct appearance and ride height.

If you have 249lbs and a 396 you would have 3955722 - YP coded springs.

I think this is a taboo area for the purists. Many of the guys who hang here are that, IMO. I think that is why the response rate is low.
I would think most would not want to see a repop tag on there.

I think the repop tags that get ripped to shreds are because they are repops and can be pointed out.
 
I am not sure what's better, leave it tagless or put a repop tag. IMO, a repop tag raises way more questions than you having no tag and POP.

The Super Sport Wheel package, N66, was only  available for a short time.... early built cars maybe up to November.  So maybe if your car was ordered with them then they could be correct.

My guess is that with good wheels so hard to find then ANY date prior to your build would be ok...

good luck in the search...

actually I think it was a  January cutoff

My guess is that you arent going to get an endorsement or body number from anyone in the CRG. I dont think Dave was that far out of line.
Is it really that important as to what body number you put on it if it is a repop tag??

The black NOS ones I have look like they have been dipped, just like front a-arms were dipped.

I still have a set of NOS straps with the tags and they are black and so are the orignal ones on my 67 and 69. I think every first gen had black straps, at least every original car I have seen.

If your car isnt in there, you should get the info to the CRG so that if it does come up, they can contact you.

Says it's a matching number 327/275hp in the ad. Get the numbers and a pic of the pad stamping and post it. That will help.
