Default 1973-77 rear A-body springs question

Does anyone know if '68-'72 A-body rear springs are the same as the '73-'77 rear springs? I'm looking to put a set of Moroso trick springs on the back of my '76 Grand Prix and I'm not sure if they are the same.
Thanks in advance.

Is 68-72 single pig tail or double?

Moog lists them as different part numbers, not sure if the diameter where the puck fit's in is smaller on the 68-72's or not. I'm sure the spring rate is different though.

Thanks for the input guys. Some sites list different parts and some sites list them as the same for 67-77. It makes me think they are close enough that they will "probably" work. I just hate the guessing with these cars. The price I pay for choosing a unique car to take to the drag strip.

I ended up choosing the Belltech springs because they do list them as a separate part number and they offer different lengths for standard ride height or to lower the stance.
