    trouble with driverside strut/torsion bar

    If the front end is up high it may be putting enough load on the bar to where it wont move. I have found that if the car is resting just above its normal ride height, the bars will come out with little effort. Do the prybar trick to the LCA. Should pop right out.

    please help me out! dropdown center link

    You'll need the 64-66 v8 centerlink or shim up the motor mounts with some steel plates. About a 1/4" thick. This is what I did on a 62. Works great.

    Torsion Bar clips won't install

    I would make sure there is not to much grease in there. It may be as simple as an air pocket too. Give it a light tap (no BFH).

    Adjusting play in steering box

    Lower control arm bushing

    When I did mine, I pounded out the rubber then carefully cut down the side of the inner metal sleave. Forced the sleave in half then pryed it out. Here is a link to a different approach if you have access to a welder...

    confused torsion bars

    Your right. A/C cars used the standard v8 bars to accomodate the extra weight of the air and cooling system.
