Rear coil springs for a '67 Ambassador

I have both front and rear springs from a '67 marlin that has 30K original miles(was hit with structural damage.), and the springs are fine. They have surface rust that would need to be stripped and repainted. I'm nearly done stripping the car down, and i'm going out to pull the engine today, leaving it a rolling shell. Everything else is off the car except for the front and rear suspension. I can take a pic today and post it so you can see the stance with the engine in it. The Ambassador is essentially the same car. I have 4 '67 Marlin parts cars, and would guess i have a good heater valve also.

I faced both the rear spring and heater valve problems last year on my 67 Ambassador.

The heater valve I found in Ebay. Before that I tried one of the rebuild kits but it did not have the fix for everything that was wrong with mine. It fixed one problem but not all the problems. If you cannot find what you need, you can just leave it in place and put a manual valve in the circuit until you find what you need.

For the rear springs, I bought a set of off-the-shelf springs. Although they physically fit, they were miserably soft. They were way under what the OEM part would have been.

I worked with a company in the Midwest to build just the spring I wanted. Theirs was a bit more money but they have been quite good. Delivery was a couple of weeks. If you need it, I can did up the vendor's name.
