Title: Width of 13/16 HP/GT sway bar for 66 vs 67?
Post by: 21.04 on June 06, 2025, 01:12:25 AM

Does anyone know if there is a width difference between a HP/GT 13/16" sway bar for a '66 vs a '67?  Or what the widths from eye to eye should be for each version?

There are links to "Ford Car Parts" (aka the infamous MPC) in this forum's library. You should learn to use it.

66 and 67 sway bars are different, not compatible.

Have spent much time searching the site for width dimensions but am unable to find data.  MPC also does not list dimensions.  I've got a 13/16" bar that I'm just looking for help to ID whether it's a 65-66 or 67 application.  The width of the bar I have is 39 3/4" from center to center of eyes  I would appreciate any help determining what I have.

I have an original 65-66 handling package sway bar that's about 37.5" center to center.  Also have a 65-66 GT350 bar and it measures the same.

I measured one of mine, a 13/16 dia bar, at 38 1/4 inch center-center of the "eye".
Supposedly, a 67 stock Mustang sway bar diameter is either a 3/4 or 7/8 inch diameter.
