Default Help - Frame Gauge Hole Identification

I'm in the process welding in a C4 front suspension into my '79 frame.

I need to locate a good reference point and my shop manual shows a "Gauge Hole A" as a reference for checking frame straightness.




The problem is, I'm not sure which hole on the frame is "Gauge Hole A".
I'm thinking it's #2 but I'd appreciate confirmation.

You may have more meaningful responses in the C3/C4 section. Best of luck......

Dohhhhhh…. That’s the problem with having both a C5 and a C3, sometimes I end up posting in the wrong section. 😆
