Notes:
* Figure not shown in factory manuals, but calculated from other known factory values.
** Data for "Deluxe" cars show same figures as for Twin Cam in factory manuals. However, the "Deluxe" models carry the lighter pushrod engine, so should have same springs as the 1600 models.
*** Coincides with introduction of radial tirees as standard equipment, 1972 |
