That appears to be moog data. thanks. Maybe a new spring #5374 is the same as original...., but finding out the free height of the original GM spring is what I am after. thanks

It is from an old Moog Catalog from 1991 which at the back had a section called NUMERICAL INTERCHANGE LISTING with the Factory Part Number to enable you to research the stock springs. It even includes the Separate part numbers for the left and right springs.
