Default Moving leaf spring perches on 67 camaro

Does anyone know how far to move the leaf spring perches in when using Speedtech billet offset shackles. I have a set and the installation instructions have no info about how far to move them in. I know the stock rearend is 42-1/2" on center.

The easiest thing to do is remove the rearend and then reinstall the springs with the stock shackles. Measurements from leaf spring pin to pin or inside spring to inside spring. Remove the stock shackles and install the off set shackles and measure pin to pin or inside spring to inside spring and do the math. Just guessing it will be around 7/8" to 1" each side.
