Default Which springs do I have?

I bought these beehives as white box overruns in 2015 from competition products, now I want to use them I cant find my records. From memory they had similar specs as Comp 918's and the Howards Cams ones at the time, just white box overrun stock.

These are going in a SBC, but figured you guys would be all over this.

Mainly concerned I may have picked up a bad batch etc.

Bronze colour with green stripe.

Thanks in advance

Do you have a spring tester? Or find one at at local engine rebuilder and ask to use it. This might be the only way to find out.

I got the specs from Competition Products 120/330 lb 1.8/1.2 1.125 bind. I think he maybe got muddled up and they're really 130/320. Doesn't matter either way they will work.

I think the fact that no one said something like: 'Not the green stripe springs! If your going to run any spring definitely not the green stripe spring!

Says to me that they're good to run. So I'm going to run them.
