Stop in for a cup of coffee

this might be a dumb question and maybe its been addressed already, but have you measured or confirmed the part numbers to make sure it's for an A body? I screwed up years ago with the charger, i bought a set of big block T bars from a guy on moparts advertising them as B body bars from a 71 charger. Since a 71 has the same body style as my 74, I assumed the bars would interchange. Wrong, the 73-74 bars are 2.5 inches LONGER than 71-72 T-bars.

happy birthday to your mom! And good for your sister.
Bar numbers are 892R and 893L, I believe these are correct 340 A body bars. I thought I also read that the odd number bar goes on the drivers side, will verify all that before I go back today. It's a pain working in the garage there now that it's been emptied out. Any tool I don't bring I have to go to storage or my property to go get. Can't boil water to warm up torsion bar boots either!

Go by the L not the number. My guess is like hoppy said, need to get the adjuster clocked correctly.
Yes, Mom lives with her in Salem OR, which is in the Willamette Valley and it gets warm there (for Oregon).. Mom's 78 so shouldn't be in the heat, this will help for sure.
Well I'm out to the house/garage, hopefully it has wheels today, thanks for all the tips everyone and have a Great Day!

i'm talking about the key thing that the adjuster rides on.
I have rebuilt several Mopar front ends, never had issues with the T bars not going in or out. I must be real lucky.

Good morning...wow feels like this summer is flying by. Good thing with the 4th a Wednesday, they decided not to have us open on Sunday for the holiday week. Today one of the new girls is having a pool party, it's the perfect day for a cookout. There's a couple young guys I warned not to turn into knuckleheads...three beers is my limit anyway so I'll be out of there before anyone gets hurt or bent out of shape.
My Mom had a hospital bed delivered today. She won't have to worry anymore about my step-dad falling out. Right now it is wedged into their small living room, until later today the maintenance men will remove the regular bed from the bedroom. When their complex was being built (senior community), they picked out which unit they wanted, across from the maintenance building, I wonder if this scenario crossed her mind. Wives are smart.
Stepdad is at the stage where he doesn't eat much at all. He picked up the phone on Saturday when I called, and we had a nice chat, Mom said he enjoyed it.
Time to get on with the day! Try to stay cool, guys!

Yep that's what the adjuster bolt pushes on. with adjuster backed all the way down it should move freely and the Tbar should slide right in the socket

actually that was wrong and nobody else caught it... the adjuster block rides on the circle. I had that one out and just threaded that back in so I wouldn't lose it and wasn't thinking which way it belonged. lol
