<VV> Front springs

[Sethracer@aol.com]

Bill asked me why Chevy would have changed the springs in 1966, if the 
Corvair was exempt. My answer (best guess):

The exemption for the Corvair was granted in 1965, for the 65 only, after the 
car had come out. (Basically, Chevy got caught in violation) I was told that 
GM, as part of the agreement, promised to raise the car back up. This is 
hearsay evidence, but the CHP officer confirmed that the car was a 65, because that 
was the only year covered by the waiver. All my 66's, at least until old-age 
caused sagging (of the car!) sat higher until I swapped-in cut-down springs to 
lower them. I'm pretty sure that Chevy would only have supplied only the 
taller springs as replacements. That was their current production part from 66-on, 
and they interchanged. (kind-of) - Seth
