Im counting 29 springs on your's, Dennis.
Mine also have the smaller springs, only an inch & a quarter around, but only 25 springs. I have some 2nd gen Camaro hinges that have inch & half around springs on them. I was just trying to figure out if mine were original, I kinda think they are, there's not much that has been changed on the car, but after learning all this stuff about the hinges I might look to change mine to the bigger around hinge. I'm concerned about these smaller spring hinges supporting my hood properly. I also just learned my Formula hood is an original 70 without the bracing they later put on them to fix the warping/bowing issue, so the bigger springs might be a good idea
