ride height

[73Scamp440BB]

I have just recently gotten into mopars. I have done some trading around and got a 73 Plymouth scamp that has a 440 already in it. It also has the factory k member in it. I put the biggest torsion bars they mak in it and the wheels still camber in. is there any low cost coil over solutions out there or is there a different route I can take. Any input will be helpful thanks

You need the MOOG offset upper control arm bushings.
They'll give you the ability to get both more caster and camber.
I'm sure someone will chime in with the part #.
Very common on these cars.
You'll also want to reference the skosh chart for alignment numbers, do a search on it.
You'll be golden for cheap.

Need a pic showing ride height.One from front, low down and one from side, about a foot from the ground plane.Alternatively, an actual measurement from lowest point of K and groundplane. Exactly how big is biggest?

You can't just throw bars and ride height at it. You need an alignment...

This!!!!

As you lower the car with the torsion bar adjusters you add negative camber. You need to have the car aligned after you set the ride height.

And, you might need the offset UCA bushings (Moog 7103) to get a useful amount of caster back. Negative camber is easy, you can get more than you need. But you lose caster, and without the offset bushings you'll have to give up all that camber to get some positive caster using the stock camber bolts and bushings.

And what size torsion bars do you actually have? There's a lot of places to get them, and they come in a lot of different sizes. The biggest bars who makes? Firm feel makes A-body bars up to 1.18". Mopar performance used to make 1.2" bars for A-bodies, but the largest I've seen offered new recently is .99". Which really isn't that big for a lowered big block A body. I have 1.12" bars in my small block Duster.
