1970 Trans Am 1 year only Hood Hinge Springs / Questions??
Would it be correct that the 70 Trans Am used the smaller springs on the Hood Hinge? Same as the earlier Firebirds and GTO's? Then switched to the larger Diameter Spring in 1971?
1970 Parts Book calls for #3848272
1971-75 calls for #3907626
I have a set of Original 1970 ONLY Hinges here that have the larger Diameter Spring. Wondering if they switched to LARGE spring at some point later in the 70 model year due to the "Hinge Issues" they were having in 1970.
Also as we know the 70 ONLY hinge has the small welded on reinforcement piece due to the problems they were having. Question: Was this change made DURING the model year or was the "problem" discovered and changed BEFORE Production Started?
Any Thoughts from the 70 Trans Am experts on this Forum are appreciated.
