Re: Ride Height

[Bill Watson <wwatson6@xxxxxxx>]

The specs should be in section 2 - Front Sucpension, under "Height".  The
Coronet/Belvedere in not in the Canadian edition of the FSM as they were not
sold in Canada, but in 1963-64 the height for the B body was 1.75" plus or
minus an eighth inch.   H-D suspension was 2 and one-eightth inches.

The suspenion height was determined  (the illiustration is in the FSM),
measuring one side at a time -
A - Measure the distance from one adjusting blade (up in the middle of the
lower strut) to the ground.
B - Measure the dustance from the lowest point in the steering knuckle to
the ground.

The difference between A and B is the suspension height.

To increase the height, turn in the adjusting bolt on the torsion bar.  To
decrease, back the bolt off.
