Does anyone have a good closeup photo of proper placement Measurements of the Chin Spoilers on a 1972 Roadrunner/Satellite
Thanks There's no factory documentation that I've seen over the decades giving specs like other models equipped with front spoilers... You can look at all the original factory photos you want, they all differ DAMHIK, pick the best looking angle and body fit, try and make it look symmetrical side to side, then nail them on, only advice I can give you Other than don't make the mistake that "only a few can do" and install them pictured below the way the Grave Yard Carz crew did...lol!

FYI, they weren't available on 72 road runners/satellites
On 71s they were dealer installed, so there is no real consistency on original cars.

nothing says I couldn't have had them dealer installed back in the day on my 72... Absolutely not... If the book says no, then dammit, they were NOT AVAILABLE...

Apparently the dealers didn't know how to install them correctly either. Here's a survivor

Yup, it was right in my back yard, and a couple of my buddies knew the original owner...I believe his name was Al. *correction, Art
As far as I know, Ted still owns it and it's still in the museum down in Sevierville.

So your saying that my dealer in 1972, selling me a 72 Sat/RR off the lot, and asked to order a set of 71 chin spoilers and install them on my car wouldn't do that?....really
