Tale of two cross members

From the looks I believe you have two different year cross members. One is for an earlier car that uses 1/2 inch bolts. The other is from a later car that uses 3/8 bolts. Check what your hole size is through your torsion bar cross member.

That is the one you will use. Using the larger hole cross member on a small hole car lets the back of the motor drop a little. Makes it tight for a large diameter after market distributor to clear the fire wall. Not really a big deal just some info you may want to consider. We just put a 72 torsion cross in a 68 Barracuda He now has to use a 72 cross member.

Dave I am sure you watching I will be going to the garage in a 1/2 hour. I want to try and fire the car today. See you in a bit.

Yup that’s it...the one with the tab used the smaller bolts, my original had the larger. So they went to a smaller bolt after 67 wouldn't had noticed the holes, look so close in size until you try putting a bolt in there. Thanks
