Assuming they are seated correctly, do the current measurements match the factory assembly manual?

Those are the Same Over the Counter GM Service Springs we found on a 1967 SSSRS 396 (4K) Car.

Starting in 69 springs were computer calaculated. A heavily optioned car would get a stiffer spring. YM could also fit a Z28 as a heavy duty spring. The link above was in the parts catalog to help figure what replacement spring to order.

I created the awhile back to calculate the 69 z28. Choosing different options yields different springs.
