I'm a little embarrassed about this problem.....the
engine and transmission are removed from my 1962 Imperial. I left the exhaust
system intact after unbolting the Y-pipe from the exhaust manifolds. While the
car was on jack stands with the suspension unloaded, I removed the torsion bars,
the upper and lower control arms, and the lower control arm struts in order to
replace all the ball joints and bushings. I neglected to note whether the left
torsion bar goes under, through, or over the exhaust Y pipe! With the engine and
tranny out, I don't have a ready reference to determine the proper location and
height of the manifold flanges at the upper end of the Y pipe, and the under
body clearance is adequate for any of the three possibilities. Would
someone be kind enough to look under their Imperial and let me know; left
torsion bar...under, over or through the Y pipe?
