This “2 springs” talk is kinda hilarious, when speaking of 64-67 Tempest Series automobiles.
First, the Pontiac engineers that designed these new cars didn’t see the need for 2 springs.
Second, if there was a problem with the springs breaking and possibly causing collisions, GM would be held responsible and sued.
Third, over decades of use, these single springs if installed as the factory intended will last forever ….. providing someone hasn’t done some other silly modification from factory stock.
Now, if someone were to stretch or damage a spring from the factory setting, than all bets are off.
