<VV> Rear ride height

[Stephen Upham]

I need a quick answer.  What is the stock height of the rear on late  
model?  I (because I have tired springs and have to use spacers until  
I can do the job properly with new springs) have a difference in the  
left and the right of 1/2".  The measurements from the floor to the  
top of the trim on the rear wheel housing at the center of the wheels  
is 25 1/2" and 26".

For those of you who have given me advise on the AM/FM question,  
sorry, I haven't had time to get to it yet.  Last weekend, a club  
member (bless his Corvair heart) spent ten hours helping me to  
fashion and install a brace for the strap on the passenger side  
muffler, add the spring spacers, adjust the brake pedal, and install  
rear seat belts.  Today was spent painting the brace (we noticed that  
we hadn't after it was installed) adjusting the muffler height on the  
right and left, and "installing" two new rear speakers with the  
special gravity method until I can figure out the best way to make up  
for a larger than workable hole that was cut for  the previous  
speaker by my dad.  The radio is working more often than not now, and  
when it goes off, turning the speaker way up, seems to wake it up and  
it works "fine" for a long time.  Will try the methods mentioned soon.
