I have a 66 Malibu 2 dr HT. I have misplaced the diagram for placement of the 5 body mounts. There are 6 locations for a convertable application (which mine is not).

Is the one not used by a HT the one close to the rear spring perch? Or is the one just in front of the rear wheels?

convertibles use both front locations behind the front fender for a total of 4 up front, normally the hardtop doesnt use the two innermost mounts closest to the engine. At least that is what I remember, its been over 10 years since I took a 66 off its frame.

Mcdonald,
I'm not back to that point yet on my project so I cant remember about the mounts in front of the rear tire but I'm possitive that the mounts by the upper rear spring perches are used. The reason I can confirm this is that both bolts broke off in that location and I can see them still sticking out waiting to be removed http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif Hope someone else can confirm the rest for you.

My 66 Malibu does not have mount in front of the rear wheel.

My car just came back from the paint shop. I am putting it back on the frame.

I will post some pics in the next day or 2.
