John; had a similar problem. If you have a '69.5 or '70 car, the frame
rails up top are 3.5" wide, and the springs for a later car are 4" wide.
I had this problem using springs from a '74 Comet. You can put spacers in
the shackles, or get new springs. One other thing, what I did, was to cut
the shackles and space them in the .5". It works, but is not the prefered
method, as it looks kinda funky. Hope this helps.
