Anybody have any pics of the 72 vs 73 springs or what the difference is?  I have a couple of extras but not sure which year they came off of.

The correct spring versus the one someone with no clue tried to use.

The side view shows how it looks. The small tab comes through the hood to keep it aligned and the bolt holds it in place.
