Re: My '73 is

Tony - I have a 74, and it has the same 27.5" dimension Mike's 73 has. It would seem your car is high on both ends. Frequently aftermarket springs can get you into this situation...Craig

Re: 74 ride height

The AIM has specifications for ride height. As I recall, the AIM measures the height of the body's lower edge (below the rocker panel covers) inboard from each wheel. It is something like 8.2 or 8.4 inches from the ground to this point
on the rocker panel. This spec is in the first couple of pages of the AIM.

Thanks all I put in the 8" bolt and the height dropped to 27.75" I am happy now and the car handles better.

Thanks
