The driver side was sagging a little lower than the other side. The spring was a little shorter. So I evened them up with a slight lowering.
Half a coil probably won't see a difference. But it is even now.
I have new front springs waiting to go into my '62 Bel Air for this exact reason. The problem is I cut the springs already (18 years ago) and it's real low, so I can't cut them more to even them out. Going from the 6 cylinder springs to the small block springs too.

Finished up the throttle using GM parts. Had to shorten it, move it to the other side and change the angle.
Decided since the engine is really easy to get to right now I'd change the water pump. It was only $50 from NAPA. I have no history on the old one.

Do you still have the stock shroud for it?

I don't have the Cadillac fan shroud but i have one for the 389. The fan does fit.
I don't know how well it will line up yet but I guess I'll find out soon.
