'68 Vista Front Coils

Good evening, Just so I don't have to tax my brain too hard on my birthday, can anyone tell me the moog part# or equivalent for stock height front coil springs for my '68 Vista with a 400 big block?

Thanks, Jim

I can't exactly remember how I looked it up, but there are many Moog springs available for the Vista. Mine is a 70. I went with the biggest spring I could and that was a mistake. The front end sits too high... Any way it seems like I found factory #'s and then bought the moog spring for that. My car is a 350 w/ air. I bought springs for a 455 w/ air and the highest spring rate I could get. I was wrong.

Thanks Greg, I appreciate your experience. I would rather it sit on the low side than the high side. The Moog website has lots of choices, but as you know, there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. It seems it would be easier to find the right springs for a
stock application.
