420A Jack Questions

Where are the jack stands points? How/where do I lift the car side with a floor jack? Can I use 3 stands since I don't have 4?

I highly suggest your next DSM related purchase to be some manual (Haynes/Chilton's/FSM). Here is a helpful link to jack up your car:

If you are trying to get the entire car off the ground, just get 4 jack stands. No one should recommend using only 3. Again, since you plan to be working on your car, get a manual.

Also, if you're going to support the car on 4 (not 3...) jackstands from the pinch welds like the link above recommends, be sure to get some rubber covers for the end of the jackstands. Harbor Freight has the covers for like $8/pair- they'll help to save the paint on that weld and also help to prevent bending that sheet metal.
