Front Suspension Inspection Marks

[67 GTX]

Hello,

Does anyone know what inspection marks were placed by the factory on 1967 cars?

I know the paint marks on the torsion bars indicate the spring rate? What would a 440 with heavy duty suspension have?

Was there a paint marking on the adjustment arm in the lower control arm?

Anything else I'm missing?

Thanks!

There is no single reference..

The marks on the torsion bars is for R or L only.

All I can suggest is clean your parts well and see what you can find. Not every car is the same and pulling marks off one oe restoration may not be correct for another. The best resources is first your parts and looking at the build thread in the members restoration sections and correctly restored cars.

I just don't have the time to explain where, what, colors ect....to accomplish that....

Thank you. I was referring more to the color stripes that were applied to the bars.

Yes, the are brown in color they designate which side....2 stripes left side one stripe right side

BTW if you get a chance i have a build thread here for my 69 GTX and I am doing a concours resto with the factory markings/stamps. 67 they did things a little different versus 69 model year but the more links you have the more things you can find out...

Dave Weiss(MMC detroit) has a lot of information in his books and are a great reference, not perfect but nothing out there is....
