75slant6, when I reassembled everything after installing the coilover brackets, the pivot pin actually seated and i was able to torque it down properly. When I had it together previously I must've not had the pin aligned right so I was having the issue stated above. After setting the strut rods to the proper length, I had a friend hit the LCA with a rubber mallet while i slowly cycled the control arm through it motion of travel arm the arm didn't budge. I know this will most likely be different with the weight of the engine on the k-frame so once the car is at weight and on the ground, I'm going to do the same process again to verify my findings and safety. That did cross my mind to just use the /6 bars as you said but I didn't like the idea for a few different reasons.
