Does anyone have a list?

The bigger the engine and the more options a car had usually demanded larger bars....heavier suspension all around. Loaded up big engine cars with the trailer tow package too possibly.

Mine had a 318 and will have a 440 so i'm thinking 1.something....?
What do you intend to do with your Coronet? Cruising, autocross, dragrace? I’ve got .960” bars on my 65 Belvedere, big block with some aluminum components. A good all around street bar, slightly stiff. Use a smaller bar for weight transfer if you’re primarily drag racing, a larger bar for autocross/road racing. JMO

Just street. Only thought the 440 added weight would require heavier bars.
My car was a big Block 383 car - don't think they have any "stock" torsion bars bigger than that . . .
Here's what I've got . . . the ends of the bars . . .
Is there some other numbers on the bars that I can look for ? ?

Hmm..don't know. They do have paint spots/stripes on them for left and right.

.88 in. Dia.
You can get bars up to 1.220" dia. A set of .960" dia.
Should be about right for normal driving.

Not to hi jack this thread but I have a question to the masters about bars. I am retaining the 383 n my coronet and want to put heavier bars on it to be able to lower the front end and still retain support. I was told this is a way to be able to do that, by putting heavier bars in it? Am I correct in my thinking?
