Default Front Coil Springs

Hi Guys,
I'm getting a lot of conflicting info at the parts stores regarding coil spring part numbers and applications. I'm looking for stock front coils for my '68 400 w/PS car. I'd like MOOG or a US made equivilant. I understand Duralast is made by MOOG. Autozone says N/A, NAPA only has a choice of heavy duty/not heavy duty. Neither of these choices sound correct to me. Anyone of you ordered springs for the same car and happen to have a good part number?
Thanks again,
Greg

Then get some nice springs like global west. Stock springs suck and if you have to pay get something nice while your at it.
