With no engine you may have to add some weight to the car to compress the springs using the weight of the car. This is why I purchased the OTC spring compressor. It fits good and allows for compression of the spring with no worries of spring blow out. It has to have a hole in the A-arm for the shock absorber in order to fit inside the spring but it works on a lot of old Fords and even a fair amount of new ones.
