How to Torsion bars?

[74sundance]

Hey guy's and gal's....I'm putting my Torsion bars in my 1974 Satellite Sundance and just wanted to be clear on where the adjustment bolt should be in reference to the cam arm.Should the bolt be backed out 100% and then the cam arm touch the hole where the bolt will come out or is how I have it in the pic good enough? Thank's in advance!

As you can see the cam is about 3/8 away from the bolt.

This was the stock location of the bolt when I took the car apart. About 6 thread turns.

I'm sure the cam should be resting on the block that the adjuster bolt go's into but it's not ...I don't remember the cams being so tight when doing them years ago on other cars,if i remember correctly the cam should just hang loose.

My lower control arm was pressed to tight against the cam when I rebuilt it,so I made up a little spreader to open it up.The cam is all the way down now and I pressed the slop back out of the control arm...On the other lower control arm the adjuster bolt snapped so I spread it open and removed the bolt and block to heat it up in the vise and crank it out easier.

I just had my torsion bars out and backed the bolt out the the point where I could just feel the tip of the bolt sticking out of adjuster nut.

Thank's,I just got a new bolt to replace the broken one.I'll get out there soon and button it all back up.
