Default 71 Jack position

I need a pic to illustrate the proper install of a jack and handle on a 71. Any help would be appreciated.

Default Re: 71 Jack position (LT1man)

Well hell - I can't find a pic for you but maybe I can describe it. In the rear compartment closest to the passenger door there is a tray. Under the tray is the location. The jack handle is placed through the jack between the jack bottom and the first sissor thing. Basically, it sits on top of the bottom plate and the jack is tightened down on it. The pry end should face towards the front of the car and the lug end should come out the rear side and point at the passenger wheel well. Once put together the whole thing is placed on the bottom of the compartment upright with the pry end of the handle pointing forward. It is held in place by a spring that hooks into the loop on the compartment bottom and loops around the whole unit.
Here's what the OM says: http://www.71corvette.com/owners/45.jpg

I know this isn't a picture but I hope it helps!
