Default torsion bars

i'm replacing the torsion bars on my 66 b body with a new and heavier set from mopar. i know there is a left and right side to these because they are marked at both ends. does it matter which end goes in the lower control arm or will either end work? thanks

Simple answer, no it doesn't matter. Easy test. Twist a sheet of paper. Look at the twist. Swap ends as you would on a torsion bar in the car, front to back. The twist is in the same direction. Since the bars are engineered to twist in opposite directions from each other, you should only have to worry about putting them on the correct side of the car. Hope this helps.
