Low high shift springs cut down. For Ross shift mod.

For 56 I will be having all valve body springs made.

My dad used to say. A Packard Service dealer told him to buy a spring kit.

To have on hand. I guess springs would give up.

Spring B..

Well can't use my speed nut.. Too thick.

Had to use a trans filter clip. Bend it to fit thread.

But pump works. On car

Neighbor teaches math. So have my flexane ratio.. For axle grommets. I wasn't far off ..

Hardner is the small number..

Shocks

These Monroe are real close to Packard spec.

The compressed is exact.

The extended 3/8 short. 3/8s spacer on top of bottom grommet should bring that up.

Delco shocks Packard spec. 9 inches compressed 13-3/4 extended.

Fits

After math check..

The extended is only 1/4 inch short. .

What I did was to put a cup on top with 0 rings on above that. So shaft won't rub on frame. If .. If theory works.

What I like about gas on the front is that it will push front up.

Here you go Ross.

Amazon has them. 25 bucks

O.riley has them. 32 bucks.

I got them at local advance auto parts. Which was Carquest. 20 percent off. 53 bucks.for 2. Better than Amazon.
