Front end too high

yes all that weight from the extra parts that have to be installed will make a difference on how the cars front end will sit, then adjust the height
 
Do you have a FSM? If not, I can get a pic of adjusting the bars.

Thread resurrection
This is what lowering it 4 turns does.
An additional 2 turns did nothing so I went back up to the 4 turns I did initially.

Hopefully I can get the car driving this summer
 
B did you roll the car back and forth after adjusting? The car will drop some after doing that. I use 2 pieces of 16 ga steel about 12" square with grease between them. This lets the wheels slide out to there natural position after bouncing the frontend a few times.

Yes. I moved her back and forth a few times. These pictures were taken a few weeks ago. The car is now in its hibernation building located just behind the silos in the top picture.
Ive yet to install the cooling system, so there will be some more weight on the front. I will probably do that in July.
I just couldnt take looking at the jacked up front end anymore. I wanted to get a few pics if my young son in the car.
 
What torsion bars do you have?

The cars a 500 . Im fairly certain it has the original suspension. If thats any help.

I have a rebuilt set of LCAs and a rebuilt set of Uppers that I will change in the future. The ones on there arent in bad shape. The car hasnt been on the road since the mid nineties. Still car will celebrate its 50th birthday in October and the rubber on the suspension will also. Lol
