1966 jack retainer loop

[Matt B.]

I just read a thread from January 2006 about jack retainer springs and loops. It looks like there is evidence for and against a single loop jack spring on a late production 66. I lost points at the SE Regional in Charlotte because my 66 had a double loop. Can anyone shed some light?

thanks,

Matt

All I know is that 1965 #23561 (4 from

the last HAS the double hoop - conviently ignored or deemed without merit in the last 12 years or so.

Matt - 66 TIM&JG indicates jack retainer should have a single loop. The previous thread had responses from some 66 original owners and if I recall the response was single loop retainer. Check it out. Pete

Matt,

My July build date '66 (VIN 268xx) has a single loop on the jack retainer spring.

I purchased 194676S111588 from the original owner in 1981. It was a totally unmolested low option poorly maintained rotten frame car. The jack rataining spring was a single loop.
