My Car
1973 Mach1, Q code, 4 speed, with an open 3:25 differential. It has what is left of the original Gold Glow paint and a very sun baked ginger interior. I purchased it in Winslow Arizona in May 2018. It has a 75 DSO and I believe it spent its entire time in AZ. It appears to have been parked in 1978 until earlier this year when the guy I bought it from purchased it.

ChrisH,  repo springs are probably going to be the easiest to find. The end of the line for the production installed top loader 4sp's came when the last of the Q code 4sp Mustangs and Gran Torinos went out the door in 1973. So OEM/NOS parts such as the clutch linkage parts can be tough to find.

The spring I marked as #1 on your illustration is C9AZ-7591-A,  2 1/2" free length, 19 coils. Spring #2 is D1ZZ-7523-A,  2 13/32"  free length, 1' dia, 20 coils.

Don  @ Ohio Mustang Supply shows stock on the #1 spring but I could not find the #2 spring on his site . It may be something he stocks and is just not showing on line. It wouldn't hurt to give him a call.  http://www.ohiomustang.com/store/order_page.asp?itemid=3123

If unsuccessful locating your springs with Don, then NPD would be a good second stop.

Hope this is enough to help you find your springs.



 
Thanks! It was the vertical spring (#2) that I was having trouble finding but I figured I’d check myself by asking about both. I appreciate the help, I just wasn’t finding it. Thanks
