I don't know if this pic gives you enough detail but it's the only one I have and the car (71) is under wraps for the winter...I do recall a thread that showed a closer view...unless someone else posts a better pic you might want to do a search.

Another thought...get yourself a copy of your car's AIM (Assembly Instruction Manual). It will show you the detail your lookiong for.
