1967 Engine crossmember width?

I'm having trouble bolting up my engine crossmember, either my frame rails are too wide or my crossmember is to short. Does anyone have the correct measurement (center to center) for the crossmember bolts?
Need the measurements for a 1967 fastback with 390.

well what I would do to get the bolts to line up if that's what you're trying to do is get one side pretty tight then place a jack to the crossmember and raise it making sure that the hole lines up. This will bend the crossmember a bit so it will fit.

Sorry to say I don't have measurements.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I can force it on but was hoping to find out the measurements so I can detirmine if my frame rails are off or if the crossmember is bent. My measurments for the bolt holes are- center-center, frame rail 29 5/8" and the crossmember is 29"
