Cutlass OEM Suspension Dimensions/Geometry

Am looking for any info on 1968 Cutlass front end suspension dimensions. I would like to compare stock geometry with after market upper A-arms and std vs taller upper ball-joints.
I know it takes considerable effort and ingenuity to get accurate results and was hoping someone would want to share what they have done. Maybe someone knows of factory published specs/drawings or similar, that would be good also, although I'd need ride height or arm angles for it to be helpful. I'll measure my track width to come up with scrub, but vertical joint and bushing dimensions and horizontal to chassis center line dimensions and angles are what I think I'm looking for. Instantaneous center and roll center is the info I want to take a look at.
I thought I'd find something for a late 60s Chevelle and call it good, but am not finding the right place to search, so why not ask for the best info at the best place? and here I am...
Thanks

Yes, I have found this tool as well and I agree, it looks very helpful. A change here or there and you can immediately see the results.

I do appreciate your response and help.
