Default Spec sheet for 1970 Vettes from AIM.

There's always been a lot of discussion about ride height and cutting coils. Someone always says to consult the AIM. Well a lot of guys don't have an AIM and probably won't buy one.

So I scanned my 1970 sheet for anyone to use and print. These are the stock specs and will show the different areas used to measure ride height, including what I always reference---fender lip height. That would be measurement "P"and "R" in the drawing. I would think that this sheet would be universal for all C3's. If not, I'm sure someone will correct me.




Here's the link.

I found that sheet at the very front...about 8 pages in. That book is like a jig-saw puzzle. It takes me forever to find anything. Much easier to ask a question here.
