My son bought his when he was 17. Go figure.

Yes

Let me get some pics. I just texted my son a asked him to bring it over.

We have driven the car for many miles.

The torsion bars are factory. This is a 1965 Imperial Crown that is almost completely original. The adjustment bolts are not at the a-arms. They are at the rear of the bars, in the middle of the vehicle. All my cranking didn't seem to raise the car at all. It's still sitting at the same height...

Yeah, I've done all the above suggestions. Tried tires hanging, jacked up just a bit, all the weight down, one side at a time, etc... I've bounced and jounced all sides, measured from the fender to the street. It actually went down a half an inch after cranking the bolts up.

The front end is pretty low. I'm going to get a picture today. I'm pretty sure I've turned each side at least 4 or 5 complete revolutions.

Hey guys! My son and I installed new rear leaf springs and shocks on his 1965 Imperial Crown. That job went okay. Now that we are finished the rear end sits significantly higher than the front. We tried to crank the torsion bars up a little bit but, nothing happened. I ended up turning both...

Come on guys, surely someone knows where this spring goes. :p

Alright guys, Check this out. We pulled the speedo cable and found this. So naturally I thought "well, we just need a new speedo cable and gear. So, I called the ever cool and helpful Murray Park and ordered a cable and gear set. Cable shows up quickly and looks good. Let's slap this thing in...

Well, driving with no speedometer is not the real problem. He doesn't have a gas gauge either. We need to fix both. :D

And, I'll take a pic while it's out. You guys would probably get a kick out of how it looks. :p

Yeah, it's a 65. The gear was like that clearish yellow color like plastic with no color added. If it would stop raining I'll pull it out again. It ain't hard to do. I just have to get the thing jacked up and on some stands again.
