Default Front sway bar sizes?
What variety of bar sizes was installed over the years?

Thanks.

Hi 69,
I believe that small block cars got a 3/4" bar, while big block cars and cars with F41 got a 15/16" bar.
Regards,
Alan

I've heard that there was also a one inch bar in the mid 70's. Is that correct?
