'69 Barracuda
Guessing my Duster still has it original slant six bars, got the number off the drivers side today, can someone help me out? I plan to upgrade to 340 size this spring if these are what I expect that are! JPN 890R
Looks like mine are swapped sides.....................but I do plan to upgrade in spring.When you are sitting in the car, looking forward. Drivers side is Left, pass side is right. R should be on the pass side. I have a set of 889 bars, came out of my 71 duster 225 slant 6.
I'll probably add a factory sway bar too. Always interested in weight loss, so the sway bar wont help; figured you have alum heads/front cover/water pump/intake. Add in the hood and as you say, thats getting into SB territory (those parts are available for SBs too!) I was surprised at how heavy my stock Rallye wheels were too, and the STEEL seats are really crazy heavy. Have you tried to lighten it up in any other spots?I have a set of 340 bars in my duster now with a big block the same weight as an all steel small block. plus a glass hood saved another 35 lbs. My car rides and dives well with those bars in it as well as Strange engineering 9 position adjustable shocks.

I cant answer- but discovered the .890-891/273-318 bars were backwards, but I cant say if they had any affect on the slight wallow ing I am feeling. Will be putting 340 bars and front sway bar on in spring........so what happens when someone installs the t-bars opposite ? right on left and left on right side
I have a stupid question when it comes to this I know that the bars are left to right specific. But are they front and back specific also? I ask because I have a set that is marked on one end differently than the other end.so what happens when someone installs the t-bars opposite ? right on left and left on right side
Yes. the numbered ENDS go toward the rear of the car. I dont think they will even fit the other way.I have a stupid question when it comes to this I know that the bars are left to right specific.

You can't read the numbers,lolso what happens when someone installs the t-bars opposite ? right on left and left on right side
You will love the bigger bars plus sway-bar combo; it will allow you to soften the shocks some, for street duty. If you have to buy bars, then bigger is even better; 1.03s are NOT too big.I cant answer- but discovered the .890-891/273-318 bars were backwards, but I cant say if they had any affect on the slight wallow ing I am feeling.

Try it and see what happens, I don't think you can do it!
Cant send you a message since your box is FULL! You say the alum wheel is about 14lb and the steels are like 28. I've ALWAYS wondered but never took the time to weigh. When I put the Rallyes on I felt they were WAY heavy! Anyone elso have some figures on alloy vs steel wheels?You will love the bigger bars plus sway-bar combo; it will allow you to soften the shocks some, for street duty.

Yes steel wheels weigh almost double of an aluminum wheel, and the aluminums are your best solution to overcoming road harshness. My 15x10 ET-II aluminum slots I have on record as being ~14#. I hammer over speed bumps that the 4-banger tunerboys crab-crawl over, hardly even noticing them.Try that with your 18" sweethearts with the forklift tires on 'em.
if what is true in post # 3 then i have tryed it. pulled my bar out on the passenger side and here is what it read
DISCLIAMER............I BOUGHT THE CAR THIS WAY.

They will fit either way the hex is the same size on both ends.Yes. the numbered ENDS go toward the rear of the car. I dont think they will even fit the other way.
Yes, will fit, but not operate as designed!They will fit either way the hex is the same size on both ends.
