I can't help with a 1974's dimensions--but I can for a '73. The total length from flat edge to flat edge is 11.75 inches. Wire diameter is 15.4 mm (sorry for the mixed measurements). There are 7 full coils, plus at each end, a tighter half coil at full diameter and half ground flat for a total of 9 coils.
I think for the US market the springs might have lifted the car a little to meet bumper or headlight standards for 1974--not sure about that though. -- Dave
