I think I count 19 is that what you see??? If so I'll take them.
I'll PM my information.

No these have 20 as compared to my Charger ones that have 19 and my Satellite ones have 18.

Mark These are considered 18 as you don't count the 1/2 spring coil...

 

[moparmarks]

I'm starting at one full coil from the 90* bend and ending at the same spot at the other end and there are 20 full coils.
I'm using the same method and my Charger ones have 19 and the Satellite ones are 18.

In my first picture I'm starting just below the pincel. Having a hard time holding the phone with one hand.

 

[QuickBpBp]

Ok I understand what Ron sees as on my phone it looks like 20 total with the half rings…

 

[moparmarks]

I don't know of any other way to count them.
The first dot on the left is one full coil from the bend. The last dot is the last full coil.
Am I doing this wrong?
This is from a 74 Charger

Thanks Mark the way I was told to count them would eliminate the last purple dot on the right since that is a 1/2 ring..

 

[moparmarks]

No it's a full coil from dot #18 to dot #19. Each dot is at the end of a full coil going from left to right. There is actually just over 19 coils

Yeah I have to agree with Brett, I wouldn't count the last one on the right going by what I was told. I don't claim to be an expert and that's why I first made a post about how many coils would be on a Plymouth AG hood hinge.
I was told last night by a noted person in the B-Body circle that Plymouth AG would be 19 full coils and Dodge RamCharger would be 20 full coils.
I think until I'm 100% sure I should wait for more help with this no???
Brett don't you own an original Plymouth AG car?

"I was told last night by a noted person in the B-Body circle that Plymouth AG would be 19 full coils and Dodge RamCharger would be 20 full coils."
I agree with statement. I've owned 4 original 71-2 Plymouth N-96 cars and I remember them having 19 coils counting them the way that I did. I don't understand why you guys are deleting the last full coil.

Here is what the book has to say.

Don't think you'd want to heavy of a spring.

My parts book is a 72 and the car and hood is a 72 but anyway my book doesn't call out #of coils like your section 15-19-0 does. So what does it mean???

Hi Ron yes I have an original Air Grabber ‘72 RR/GTX but it’s on a lift in my garage with stuff piled under it. Not easy to get to…
