Those were exactly my thoughts. My bottom support on the core support has those same holes and appears a spring would have sat there. Whether GM put one on or not I'm not sure. So far it seems no one has come forward with a 72 and an actual spring yet.

I've tried adjusting the rubber bumpers, any higher and the hood won't shut correctly and line up with the tops of the fenders.
