Did you by chance look in this forums' library under topic "ConcoursMustang.com Official 66 Mustang Article List"? There you will find a link to "1965-72 Ford Master Parts Catalog MPC" (it's real name is "Ford Car Parts", which is printed on every page.) From that you should be able to get a Ford Service stock number to aid you in your search (like e-bay, and vintage Ford parts suppliers).

Is it part of the basic part number 7A480 as highlighted here?  If not, what part are you looking for?

Looks like the ten C4AZ-7A480-B springs were not serviced separately, they were serviced as part of the C4AZ-7A480-C "Spring - Reverse Clutch Piston"

It appears that Green Sales in Cincinnati OH may have what you need

Ultimately, somebody is going to have to come up with a Ford number. It might as well be you. That saves a lot of wear and tear on catalog pages if you had it to start with.

E-bay. It took me 30 seconds. Under $20 for a Ford NOS kit.
