Not completely accurate. The Olds' DID use an invereted bee-hive looking spring, but they didn't use the ovate wire that Comp uses. (the wire is oval, not round) That is one of the main benifits of the Comp "beehive" springs. (it helps eliminate harmonics, and the need for a dampener) Plus they install them with the small end up (the Olds' I have seen, installed them with the small end down) to help reduce retainer weight. I know..........slicin' hair, here.
