Are the oval springs the original? Do the two interchange? Does anyone have a source for the cylinder shaped ones ( NAPA part number, etc.)

It does have photos & dementions though. If you can e-mail me photos of what they look like I might be able to match them up. I have some NOS long return springs. I wont get back to the shop till Sat. but I will measure them. I think I have a photo of them in the computer. My e-mail. [email protected]
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.
