Any idea when the rear shock tower was changed from a single mount to a dual mount ?

I bought a old orignal car today it is a "a" stamp chassis and it has dual top shock mounting holes on the rear tower and I was just trying to date the car.

the 6 gear c.e. came out in 90. does your car have the short or long front arms?

Rear shock tower could have been changed as that was simple, just a couple of screws. Back then sometimes you changed things just to make your car look like the newer models that just came out. More shock positions could also equal better handling options.
