Thanks, Ed. There are no original references to use.
Reading about the firewall being the 0 reference point, I remembered seeing something in the AIM. I found page UPC 11-13/B8 with the references. So, from studying the AIM, what I think may be a valid starting point is approximately 10.03" from the bottom of the fender just behind the wheel opening (15 - 4.07 = 10.03).
Thanks!
Mike
