Torsion bar question 6 vs V8??

The L and the R ends go in the front. At least that is what a bone stock RR owner said......The direction of the L and R end (front to back) does not matter as the twist is the same direction.

Agree. Literature I have says the numbers are supposed to be on the anchor end, which would put the L and R ends on the front. Of course, factory assembly procedures being what they were back then, I'll bet some of them got put in the other way.
