Also forgot to say, it's a Pontiac, and I'm using Cliff's hp kit with the 4 pp springs in it.

The original PP spring will work perfectly fine in this unit.
Been using the exact carb on my 462 with the 744 cam, points ignition, TH400 std converter, 3.55 gears.

Okay, thanks! I still have the original spring in good shape so will just put it back. Thanks again.
