Default Need Coil Over Spring Recommendation

I am putting coil overs on the front of my 72 442 and am using 8" springs. Anybody have any idea what weight spring I should use? Car has a fiberglass hood and front bumper and will have an Olds 455 with aluminum heads and intake. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would need a real front weight, Does it have A/C?, Power steering? But I would guess at 450 to 500 if you want it soft, 500 to 550 if you want it firm to start unless you scale it.

Scale it and we can dial it right in. But scaleing a car around these parts cost $300. Springs are $50 a piece.
