I think I am off by 60*. Torsion bars

Kent mosby said

The adjuster bolt is backed out all the way. I can adjust it all the way in and it just barely touches. What "clocks" the adjustment arm that the adjuster sits in relative to the LCA. At rest without the torsion bar in and the LCA hanging down, the arm sits higher up like it is in the pics.

The other side of the bar, it needs to spin out, drivers side say.. so clock it left a hex, with it still in the arm...then once you have your arm bolt seated as well as the strut rod and torqued...lower the car 'some' get it to where it's close to a high looking ride height...then adjust the adjuster in to like i said and lower the car down and see what you have .

The torsion bar needs to be under a good amount of twist to support the car, it's almost 2000 lbs on the front of an a body, each front corner on the typical 108 w/b disc brake p/s small block a body car weighs about 940/890lbs, the rear with 8 3/4 is around 750 +/-40lbs roughly. A hair more for 111 w/b cars
