Here is a picture of your frame upside down. The area's I have circled (big circle is the spring perch, that is where the top of the spring goes, little circle is a step where the last coil of the spring goes, the circle of the square object to your left is the shock mount) you will see when you crawl under and look up. Glad to have you aboard Denis. BTW it looks fine to me also, let have some pictures of the rest of the car.

thanks for your the quick reply guys, i ask because the preowner has bolted a G-BODY 7,5" 10 Bolt in the car problem . .....yuup i know i know....it´s the weakest rear on planet earth and it´s not original,but i overhaulted it...with new gears and a posi it´s ok for my because i´m really on a tight budget and i don´t plan to use any sticky tires. I know the 7,5" 10 bolt have another shock mounting points and is shorter than the A-body rear but thats not the problem! The spring perches on the rear end housing must be nearly the same. I know i must use adj. upper arms to correct the pinion angle but i´m not sure if i need adj.lowers to bring the rear more in front of the car(....maybe for the springs...?) .....the problem is that i notice a litte twist in the rear end of the car and i´m not sure whats the problem. The preowner have cutted this springs and they installed like bubbasz1 says in the corret position,but can it be that cutted spring are the reason,i have also notice that the rear height from the car (passenger site) is higher than the other,maybe a 1/2 inches? Both springs are cutted at the same position but don´t ask from what car they are....because they are bigger than stocks. no sway bar,too If the springs (angle) are correct like you guys say it,it can be only the cutted last part of the springs not sitting properly...or maybe both ? it´s difficult for me to explain you this but i hope you understand me and my beautiful english i will be happy for an advice....maybe some one can insert a pic like mine with the tires off and the jackstand under the rear.....or send few measurements ? anywhere i must start and i think the best place is here ...between olds guys. thanks and regards denis
