Gilligan, a stone-stock '72 Corte & Cosso decklid shock measures 16-7/8" center to center. Also note- the upper decklid shock eye unscrews on most stock & aftermarket deck shocks so they can often be interchanged on assemblies that come with the wrong ends. Just pick one thats not too stiff or your decklid hinges will again protest. Or go to any Pantera vendor- these are NOT high-dollar items.
