torsion bar decoding

892 and 893 are the HD small block torsion bars, more commonly referred to as "340 bars," because they were stock on 340 cars. But they were found in 318 A/C cars, cars w/tow packages, fleet cars with the HD suspension option.

For a SB car they work well for decent handling and a good ride. If matched with a sway bar, they handle fairly crisp- had them in my '68 GT and they are in my '69 Valiant 2-dr
