Would anyone have the specs on factory ride height for a '69 Sport Satellite?

Do you not have a service manual?

Go on the Hamtramck site. There is a document there that lists front and rear bumper heights from the ground. That should get you very close to what your ride height should be.

If the link does not work, the list is in the library under articles.

Thats an interesting set of documents that I've never seen before. Most service manuals will show ride height set as show below with most of our cars set between 1.25" to 1.78" difference. This also takes the engine weight, passenger and liquid load, and tire height out of the equation.
