Well I do have an Al-Qaeda training camp behind my shop so maybe thats why Microsoft may be blocking you?

But seriously, seems its a Microsoft issue.  I assume you are using Internet Explorer so I would use Google Chrome or Firefox as your browser.  That should fix it.
Or just go to my website directly and download what you need from the Factoid section of the site. 

Let me know if that works.

I typically use my iPhone or iPad and have had no issues. I just tried it on my work computer, which runs IE 11 with a ton of security crap, and it opened just fine.

Question, what do the red stripes on the rear springs indicate. I found them on the car that I'm restoring except mine appear to be white.

The application and in turn compression rate.  After 66 colors were listed on the buildsheets to make it easier and quicker for workers to identify the springs needed for a specific car

Changing an option (example GT, transmission or others) can change the spring rating and in turn, spring markings

In Marcus' cover picture it appears the rear leaf springs are possible marked with two pink and two red stripes. Guessing its for a 70

Yes, actually that suspension set on the cover is from a 1971 build I did about a year ago.  Some really nice original parts on that one.
I will get to the leaf spring section at some point.  Right now working on the control arm section next. 

[Anghelrestorations]

I updated this and added a section now on lower control arms from 65 to 73.  Any questions or comments let me know.  Hope to get some feedback on those that have seen original low mileage cars over the years to make sure this all matches up.

Have you ever found and examples of lower control arms with the version A jack tabs with C5 marked boots? If there are they are in the minority . I typically find more of that combination with a later engineering number boots. The version B jack tab style that you have marked is the more prevalent on 65/66 cars from what I have seen at least on the SJ cars . Maybe it is just the survivor and unmolested cars that I have paid attention to .These details make me skeptical of your conclusions. Of course I haven't seen them all but It seems that the pattern at least what I perceive is that the the tabs marked type A were later production 66 model year control arms and of course 67-70. I have not seen a different vendor style as you refer to it version A tab for instance on any later 67-70 arm that are not later service or repros. Has anyone else ? With that said it seemed logical to conclude that the type A style tab was more likely the newer evolution of tab style instead of different vendor. Type B tab seems to be early type. Just what I have observed others my have a different opinion . Your articles always end up being great so regardless hopefully the discussion will make for the most accurate article it can be.

I have seen the B style squared off tabs on several early 67's as well.

Bob...let me make sure I understand your question/comment first.

Are you asking on the C4DZ control arms if I have seen version A jacking tabs and the C5 boots?  Or are you asking about the C7OZ control arms? 
And you are saying you have not seen version A jacking tabs from 67 to 70?

Yes on if you have seen the C4DZ arms with the your A jacking tabs and with the C5 boot. Have you seen the C7OZ control arms with the B tabs and the C7 boots?

Ok got it.  I will go thru everything I have again today and doublecheck those details.
Also think I will start a new thread going forward just on lower control arms to make it easier to track this discussion in the future instead of having these all in one long thread with multiple topics.  Probably makes most sense.
