Ride hight

Anyone know what the standard ride hight is for a 68-70 charger?
Where is the mesurement taken from on the car?

It's difficult to do it by the book.
Measure from the lower ball joint to the floor.
Measure form the control arm torsion bar spring anchor housing to the floor.
The difference should be 1 7/8" +or- 1/8".
I adjust it until it looks right but find the car handles better if it's not too low at the front, just a slight rake down.

The rear needs to come down a little if you can as regards to the front i usually squeeze three fingers at the top of the tyre then get the car on level surface and put a spirit level across the front cross beam.
