I'm asking for a friend who has a problem with his hood springs. He has the N96 2 scoop ramcharger hood. His springs are weak and barely keep the hood open. How many coils should the springs have? Thank you.
How many coils does his have? Is it a "factory" N96 hood or did he or someone else ADD a N96 hood to the car?I'm asking for a friend who has a problem with his hood springs.

Agree with # of coils, except I call it 22 total (I just counted them) with the 1/2 coil on each end with the hooks.I've always had to open the hood at least 3/4 up or it's coming down. 21 coils on mine, 21 coils on my Super Bird hood and 27 coils on the '66 Satelitte.
I started my thumb along counting starting at one full coil...Agree with # of coils, except I call it 22 total with the 1/2 coil on each end with the hooks.
Yep, you're right. I either missed that or forgot it. My bad.Hi, 69 is in the title. Thank you for the pic. I will forward to him. Thank you. Mike
You're forgetting the 15+ lb air box attached underneath... that said.. same springs as a bulge hood.Those 2 fiberglass scoops added how much weight to the steel hood?
5 pounds.....maybe?
