Rear Coil Spring Insulator Installation
Perhaps a silly question but when installing new coil spring insulators on the rear springs, should I glue and/or zip strip them to stay on?

No, they should stay in place by themselves and then the weight of the car will insure they stay put.

I ran into the same problem when I installed new springs in my 65. The new insulators would not conform to the shape of the spring. I had to zip tie them on to keep them in place long enough to install the springs. As Rich said, once installed the weight of the car will hold them in place.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
