Years ago one of the shock companies had a full online catalog of every shock they made. It had all the demensions. It was an Adobe file format too IIRC. I have searched for it several times and not been able to find it's match. Believe me I could kick myself for not saving a copy to disc!
From what I remember for Franks car a 71-73 Mustang shock will fit. But maybe that was for the American body, Could even be the Rebel shock Eddie is looking for! KYB had a listing IIRC that showed an AMC body with the 71-73 mustang included for the same shock. tyrf looking for a front KYB shock for a 71-73 Mustang then see if you can get the same shock to come up for an AMC. Then you should be able to get one a bit cheaper then the custom shock. The American shocks on my front are low pressure gas Gabriels IIRC and they came in at less then $15 ea at Advance.
