Hey, was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between these two part numbers: 2122 278 and 2201 991 (see attached image).

I currently have the 1st one (from the 60 Matador) installed on the newer crossmember, but the tail seems to be sitting really high, and I wonder if the other spring might be shorter? I can't really find any info on their physical descriptions.

In case you're wondering, I'm referring to the spring in this image (attached)...

i think both the spring and the crossmember both are diff. for a 64 . using a 64-65 833 4 spd in my 60 , i had to refab the crossmember to get it near correct tail height/length . the real big deal
was the snout for 60 was way too long to work with the 64-65 trans ----------------------------------------------------------later

Thanks for the reply Chuck. The engine/trans are from a 64 NYer, and the crossmember I got from John @ Big M I believe was a 63 but I forgot to ask for that isolator spring, so I had to use the one I had from the 60. Everything lines up fine, but as I mentioned, I think the 60 spring is too tall. The bell housing is almost touching the tunnel & the tail looks really high. All I'm really looking for right now is a comparative height, but I imagine I'm going to have to either find one from that later year, or cut this one down...

Yeh, driveline angle is important, height of the tailshaft is part of this.

Like shep says, get the driveline angle set 1st, then see where that spring fits in the puzzle. this is the 1st I've ever seen a spring in that location. All I ever seen was a rectangular rubber mount, bolted to the tailshaft housing and to the xmember mount. Must be a really stiff spring to be able to carry that much weight. 3 - 4 degress up on the diff and 3-4 degress down at the end of the tailshaft. I wouldn't use the trans mounting pad as accurate point of measurement as it may not be reliable. Jerry

The spring was used in 64, pretty sure in 62-63 as well. Pics from the service manuals are below, named appropriately. The trans had the rubber isolator attached to it when I got it, so I know that's correct. From comparing the two closeup views of the isolator springs, it looks like there's a difference in coil numbers, spring thickness, and spacing, so I'm pretty sure the one I'm using from 60 is incorrect. Maybe I'll write to Big M & see if he has one.
