How late in the production did they get the 23 mm sway bar. I am guessing mine is 21.....for a July car?

I'm not sure. My '84 T/A WS6 was built 5th week of 8/84 and has the 23mm bar. Yours might have the 23mm rear bar.

I will probably measure it when I get home tomorrow. I am planning on getting work done on the hood, tow bar comes off, and if I am lucky it will be running sometime this weekend. Thanks

Re: ws6

The torque arm information is interesting. I noticed that mine looked like swiss cheese and decided to go with the LT1 version that was much more solid.

My '84 T/A parts car has the standard Level II Y99 suspension and a solid torque arm. It looks like it has some weight to it. Not good for handling.
