I am very close to completion of my restoration of my 67 olds cutlass. And the car does not look right. I wondering if there were any preferred ride heights or recommendations. Also where to take heights from. I bought big block springs from Napa car is a small

 

Block I realize that's part of the problem . I was looking for a place to start from those who have been in my position thanks.

 

There's a lot of 1967 owners here. If you could take some photos or maybe measurements from the four corners of the car that would help others have an idea if it's way different than theirs.

Pictures would help a lot.

 

I don't remember the measurements at each wheel arch I do know they were all different and i have a 3/4" spacer on the radiatior core support. just to make it look level

 

personal preference, but check the stance on this 67 442 in this factory advertisement vid:

 

1967 Chassis Service Manual, page 3-24:

442s: 9½" Front, 9⅜" Rear.

thank you, i am thankful for your help!

 

I like the lifted look, in my opinion they sit too low stock.

 

Its your choice as to what look or height you want. Stock is good for a stock restore. Yes the stock look is pretty low... I have had god luck ordering springs from Detroit Eaton Spring Co.
