Tom,
The springs go in between the pads on the guide pins.
I ran `69 Camaro in the `70s with Factory disc before converting to drum fronts,I used the preload springs from a 12 bolt posi unit with a 7/16 washer on each end of the spring.
You do need to keep an eye on pad wear and change them if they get close to coil binding the springs.
I ran a full season with that set up and never had a problem.
