Larry,
Look at the two ends of the spring.  See if one has the last two coils right up 
against each other.  If that describes your springs, that is what
Haynes is talking about.  If the coils are all evenly spaced, don't worry about 
which end goes against the head.

Joe

P.S. The set I got from SpitBits were the same on both ends!
