does the new 427 Registry (2020) include all of the old Registry (2004) ?
or do I need both books?
(I am already in contact to SCCA about the books)
Pictures of Cobra, including CSX Number, would be the winner.

So much more that it required it's own stand alone publication.

Thx, which car do you have?
on the pic you can see the preload spring (yellow) to hold the spring when the damper is fully out (no load), thread for adjustment and nut.
this is not from the 60. seams to be a new aftermarket part.

What do you think about the coil overs, old or new?

Tough to say, as something as simple as spring rate, or internal dampener rate can make a HUGE difference in each instance.
As you asked the question, I have to ask "why"?
Are you asking about 60's technology vs the modern version (I assume you have the FFR supplied Koni's)? Are you thinking you want your spring rate sets up "like an original"? Exactly where are you going with this thread, and your reasoning for starting it?
Inquiring minds want to know.
