get a yard stick and measure from the top (peak) of the arch of your wheel well to the ground. do you have stock suspension components or what have you changed?

what do you mean by the specs?

do you mean; at what height should the car be sitting like it was from factory in 68?

if so, no i dont know exactly, but a good place to start would be to measure where you are now and then do osome research..

if this is all the OE equipment from the car in 68, i would imagine the shocks/springs need to be replaced now...but many 67/68/and i'm pretty sure 69s came like that from factory.

like this:



notice its squating a little in the rear. i believe with upgraded options the suspension components changed some..like between the SS, Z28 options etc..
