Thread: 29 model a spring rate

Tweet

I have a 29 model A tudor when I first bought the car a couple of months ago the right rear was leaning, I measured everything replaced the bent mounting bolts on the adjustable coil overs , checked the panard bar and the car was still leaning everything seemed to be spot on. my question is what spring weight should I use for an all steel body and fendered car also the battery is mounted on that side... does have sadle tanks, the tank on the right side had more gas than the one on the left so that wasnt the lean either.. I want to replace the coil on that side and rebuild the alden coil over since there is a slight leak .. anyhelp would be appreciated

thanks,
simon

Here's some charts that helped me decide:

And then I phoned and talked to a tech rep and we decided on a 300# spring for my Model A with a rear 20Gallon tank, battery in the rear, and no back seat. Also a SBC motor in the front.
