To Mike's issue.
As someone mentioned, the stand for this application should be the type that is designed to receive an old-fashioned tube axle, with a concave top. These are commonly available, and cheap.
The stand should be positioned as far out on the CA as possible.
Remember, you are trying to emulate the wheel. Therefore, the weight needs to be supported on the other side of the fulcrum (which is the spring mount, in this case). You may need to remove the wheel to get the stand far enough out before dropping the weight of the car onto it.
As a bonus, those with a 124 or 201 will find a more perfect 'slot' in the CA to receive the stand just inboard from the balljoint.
