I need the exact wheel base measurement!
I have a 89 Formula and get ready to finish up my front end and am installing adjustable spherical a-arms. So I'm looking for the exact wheel base measurement from the center of the rear axle to the center of the front spindle. I'd just like make sure the car is as close to perfect as possible.

Thanks,
Eric

Re: I need the exact wheel base measurement!
Is the GM measurement of 101.0 inches not accurate enough (I ask in seriousness), or is that just not the spec you are looking for?

If thats what the factory measurement is, thats fine. Where did you get that number from?

I just made the mistake of not measuring before I took everything apart and changed my k-member, so I would just like to try to the the front wheels centered as close as I can.

The published spec of the wheelbase for a Thirdgen is 101.0 inches. I don't know what that measurement is, but that is what they say it is
