Hi guys, here are my questions. I have a 1985 Mustang GT coupe.

1. Where can i get 2 rear coil springs for my car, basically just looking for a stock replacement, not lowering springs.

2. WHat size of carb is on my car? Its the stock carb.

3. Lastly, what is the maximum size i can put on there without having issues.


Thanks guys.

best bet for stock replacements is at a junkyard or put a "WTB" ad on corral.net. Most people still have the stock springs in their attic - I know I do

You can pick up stock replacement springs at an auto parts store like pepboys, Napa, or autozone. I bought a set a few years ago for around $50.00.

Are you having issues with your stock carb? Or do you just want to go bigger? For a stock 302 I would stay in the 600-650 range.

Tony, no i was just curious what size the stock one was on an 85 and if i ever wanted, how much bigger you could go on a more or less stock engine. Thanks
