Interesting.  
Great find, you've got a nice car there.  

I believe your leaf springs are mounted incorrectly in the rear.  It 
appears in your picturs that the spring is mounted below the "scroll" 
bracket.  On my car the spring resides above with the scroll eyelet 
located below.  See this picture:

Or, for a detailed depiction of how my rear suspension came apart, 
see:  http://www.mydatsunroadster.com/2005/08/rear-end-disassembly.html

The leaf springs come off maybe 2/3 of the way down the page.
