I did find the QA1 sticker on the coil, and can barely make out a few numbers beside it. Kinda looks like a 9-400.

Here's some pics for the suspension. Definitely looks like an aftermarket spindle also. Also got a part number on the shock, but couldn't find anything on the spring.

Ok, here's what I got. The coilover mounted in the car and at ride height is 10.5 inches(eye to eye) Shock by itself is 13.5 inches extended and 9.5 inches compressed(eye to eye). The coil is 9 inches fully extended.

Ok guys, I'll get a wheel off and get some pics. Then pull a coilover out and get some measurements.

I'll get some better pics of the suspension so maybe someone here will recognize it and tell me who made it. It's a small block with aluminum heads and currently has no heat or A/C system. I plan on adding vintage air at some point. Other than that, I would think it's close to average weight of...

Ok guys, got a few things now to check out on my next day off. Thanks for all the advice so far!

They're QA1 shocks. This is how I got the car, and all this stuff was done 2 owners previous to me. I haven't owned anything other than stock suspension cars, so this is a learning experience. Definitely didn't think that coil gap looked right though! I never thought to lower the adjustment to...

It's sitting pretty low in the front, lower than I'd like. I could raise it up, but won't help the coil gap any.

I been out of the A-body game for 2-3 years after selling my yellow '71 Scamp. Honestly wasn't looking for another, as I had been searching for a nice D100 lately. I had a deal fall through on a nice '65 sweptline and found this '72 Scamp in Albuquerque. Engine specs are a little hazy, as the...

I recently got back into the A-body game with another Scamp. It has a 4-link rear and tubular upper and lower control arms on the front with QA1 coilovers all around. The rear rides good, however the front hits very hard over sharp bumps. I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be very much gap...

Just to let you know, pretty much all the plugs changed on the sensors from OBD1 to OBD2, so if that '98 you bought has a complete motor, then you'll have everything you need.

I believe the 360 has the smaller rear main cap and the 318/340 has the larger.

Which LA small block was this pan for? LA 318/340 is different than LA 360 and all the magnums use the LA 360 pan.

Yeah, second year of the 5.2 magnum. My latest magnum swap was in a '91 TBI 318 Dakota. '92 harness and A-518 trans with a '98 magnum 5.2. They do have a serpentine belt setup on those '91 TBI motors, but not quite a magnum setup, as they have a smog pump on them. They also have(and use) the...

It's possible it may depend on the year. I did a 5.9 magnum swap in a '71 Scamp and used the 360 Schumacher mounts and everything was fine. Did a 5.2 magnum swap in a 71 Duster and bought the same mounts, didn't work on Driver's side and has to order a 318 driver's side bracket from Schumacher...
