Well,
Learn
something new every day.
Turns
out that the New Yorkers uses a different length
torsion bar. Which means they used a different sub
frame.
I
thought the different part number in the master parts
book was due to a different diameter. But it is both
different in diameter and length. All the other
front-end parts are the same according to the master
Parts Book.
Seems
odd. The New Yorker bars are 44 inches long while the
Newport and 300 are 40.
I
guess I will eBay them at some point as they are of
little use to me.
Thanks
all for the measurements.

Hi
Jamie,
I am
scratching my head. I will have to check the bars up
at the house this weekend. I could have sworn that I
measured them, and they were 44 inches long. Those
bars cam out of a 1964 Chrysler New Yorker.
Is it
possible that the New Yorker and the 300 used
different length bars? Or was there a change to the
subframe in 1964 from 1963 and the bars are longer?
I will
also have to get under the 300K here in San Francisco
on the cold wet concrete and see if I can get an
in-car measurement.
Jamie,
can you take a caliper and get me a very exacting OD
on the 607 bar?
Thanks,
James
James ,
the 607 bar out of my J is 40" long.

If anyone has
a set of torsion bars out and accessible for a
1963-1964 Chrysler, can you measure the length
and note the bar number?
I have a
paperwork conundrum. I have a set that came out
of a 1964 New Yorker, and I thought I measured
them, and they are 44 inches long. But my
paperwork here in San Francisco says that the
bars for a1963 300J, and presumable the 1964
300K, are 40 inches long. Hence the conundrum.
Also, I am
still hunting for a set of 606-607 bars and if
anyone has a set, they will sell please let me
know.
