Need power piston spring kit specs...
« on: December 02, 2012, 06:23:00 PM »
Bought the entire rebuild and bushing kit a couple of years ago. It came with (4) power piston springs with different colors. I don't remember if the kit came with the specs on each of the power piston springs. But I was wondering if that info can be provided to me. My carb is #17080272 (It came off of a 1980 Pontiac). Also I lost the OEM APT adjustment  specs. Thanks!

Orange is the lightest spring, for big cams and low vacuum at idle.

The light blue (plain color in some kits) is next, followed by the long green, then light blue.

Spec's are approximate, 6-7", 7-8", 8-9" and 10" release point, lightest to heaviest.....Cliff
