OK, here's the specs, and Doug and I were correct, there is a DIRECT correlation and interchange.
Now, I just gotta figure out how the heck to know if the AMX springs I have are for an A/C or non-A/C car as I'll need the 3156 springs for my Eagle   :

1970 Javelin/AMX v8 No a/c

3112 - Front Coil Spring

Inside Diameter (inch) = 5.020
Bar Diameter (inch) = .687
Install Height (inch) = 9.5
Load (lbs.) = 1591
Spring Rate (Lbs/inch) = 306.6
Free Height (inch) = 14.38

------------------------
1970 V8 with A/C

3156 - Front Coil Spring

Inside Diameter (inch) = 5.020
Bar Diameter (inch) = .687
Install Height (inch) = 9.5
Load (lbs.) = 1690
Spring Rate (Lbs/inch) = 311.2
Free Height (inch) = 14.92

---------------------------
1970 6 cyl with A/C

3140 - Front Coil Spring

Inside Diameter (inch) = 5.020
Bar Diameter (inch) = .656
Install Height (inch) = 9.5
Load (lbs.) = 1490
Spring Rate (Lbs/inch) = 275.6
Free Height (inch) = 14.94

----------------------------

Eagle Front coil springs:
 4 cyl no a/c                    Espo 3140
 4 cyl with a/c                  Espo 3112
 6 cyl no a/c                    Espo 3112
 6 cyl with a/c                  Espo 3156

Sorry, did not see BillD did this already.  And, I can't figure out how to delete or even modify a post.
