Hey guys can someone tell me what the correct size sway bar is suppose to be on a 65 GS ?
My car green 3 speed car has a 1 1/16 " and my parts car I picked up has 15/16 sway bar :dontknow:
-
15/16 is the original size for a 65

The bigger bars could be found on 2nd gen Camaros/Firebirds, Z-28's and T/A's had the largest dia bars.
Also mid 80's Regal turbo and GN, and Monte SS's had larger bars that would fit our GS's.
It's a good swap, makes a huge difference in the cars handling.

A 1 1/8 front sway bar with a 7/8 or a 1 in rear makes a huge
difference if you are not concerned with being stock! Add disc
Brakes, quick ratio steering,gas charged shocks,New springs
and you should be able to go through a corner at 70 no problem!

I will keep them both around so that when I get the car on the road I can try them out . Strange enough I don't know if you seen this car when it was on Ebay , but it has a rear sway bar on it now ( i know its not original ) which I would kinda like to try out .
Some one also has put power disc brakes on it . Don,t know what they are off but may keep them on also .
Corners at 70 mph :overthetop: LOL ( I better leave those days behind me )
