Tom,

Yes, they did.

Glad you are improving the car

Not meaning to steal your thread.....if anyone is looking for a real deal 1969 L78 Chevelle with it's original born-with engine.
This one is still available.

Absolutely! That was the “look”. My L78 ‘67 always had stock springs, but to mount my slicks & similar beefy tires & wheels (for the street, as I never raced it at the track) I used those coil spring inserts to separate the coils & lift the car a bit....it actually worked!!! lol! Ride quality wasn’t harmed much at all, and I had plenty of clearance for my M/T Super Scavenger Headers underneath!

Nice ride you have there...enjoy it and make it your own!
