    I'm running a 9" out of a 69 Mustang. It allows you to run 3 3/4" backspacing (which is pretty common) and still lower the car. You'll have ample clearance between the i/s of the tire and the body. It probably wouldn't look to good on a high-riding car (unless you run a good bit more b/s).
    The '67-70 Mustang and Cougar rears , whether 8" or 9", are 59 1/2" from outside the drums (wheel mounting surface). The 9" in these cars is the "light duty" model (small bearing, small housing). So they're a little lighter than the big car (Torino, etc.) housings. Also, you can interchange 8" brake hardware with the small-bearing 9".
