Trouble setting ride height, Bad LCA?? Need Help.

Bummer, Because I bought them from a respected member here. Then the choice is, Do I go back to the PST 1.03 bars or try the /6 bars that were in place before that is sitting back in a corner. I will try to get this on the dragstrip but I am not going to race in class races and I don't want to put a roll cage in it, so 11.5 is as fast I need to be. Perhaps it is best to get the 1.03 bars back in and see how it goes.

50 year old parts are 50 year old parts. There's really no way to tell they're worn out without putting them on a car, visually they can look just fine and still be worn out. And if they came off a car that doesn't do a ton of driving it's entirely possible no one noticed, it would just have been sitting low up front.

If the car is drag race only 1.03" bars won't be your best choice for launching, but unless you're going to be super competitive with it that won't matter a ton either.

Yes they are matched 892/893

I think he meant the LCA's, not the bars. As in, did you get your LCA's second hand too because maybe you got something other than an A-body LCA.

Also, the loose adjuster lever shouldn't effect your ride height adjustment. It's best to fix it, but the socket and lever being loose in the LCA isn't likely causing your issue.
