Guy,
I'm sorry but I totally missed your question of 6/29 regarding where I got my springs. The outfit is called ESPO Springs 'N Things, website www.springsnthings.com. They wind coil springs to order, so it took them less than a week to ship my order. They told me that they have the car specs. on computer, and the computer directs the winding of the coil. Their price was well below our Big Two Packard parts houses and their quality is excellent.
O_D,
The wires have to be at a 90 degree angle to fit under the air filter housing. The #4 wire developed a crack in the wire boot where it bends and that was the source of the arcing. The filter left side mounting bracket is slotted so I'll be remounting that as high as I can above those wires. I've also double insulated #4 & 5 wires where they pass under the housing to hopefully prevent a recurrence.
