Andrew. Sorry I can't answer that one for you as my book only says wot I wrote. Maybee if you get newer struts (ie; 71-72) and put them in your 69 it will do the job but sorry I can't be sure. Maybee worth a try. Somewhere in there it showed them raising the pivot point higher again maybee on a 69 to fix that problem?? But who knows?? I hope this helps you. Till next time.
