If you have the service manual, there is a chart in the back that tells you the ride height. The have you measure from the inner lower control arm pivot to the ground, and the lower balljoint to the ground. You then subtract the two numbers and compare them to the chart in the book. The chart includes ride height for all the different models and styles (ie convertable, station wagon, SS, 6 cyl. etc.)
I put new small block springs in my 66'a moog #.I don't like the way it sits,it seems about at least 1" or2"'s to high,it really bugs me.I'm thinking of cutting them down,but I don't know if they will settle,I sure hope so.One guy said the 6 cyl spring is the way to go for height.
I like em sitting a bit lower. Back in the 70's the sky high look was cool and I had cars like that. But they were scary on the highway. Get up to speed and the cars got awful light. I then dropped an A body and it was like night & day for high speed handling. The car really stayed planted.
The only thing is, it's probably been 25 years since I've driven fast enough for it to make a difference.
I forgot about this . I found it in the manual, thanks. With the Eibach Pro kit I am about 3/4" lower than stock according to the manual. i thought it would be higher. I would like to see some more side views of some 65's
Your not going to like it but this the ride height. No rake front to back. This one is a original low miler. I can measure it but I think you would want a more muscle look. Paul.

I was talking 60's
when the front was a little higher for weight transfer
not the 70's when they were all up like a 4x4
Nose down is great for drag cars with sticky tires
