Sway bar on non-sway bar B

Have one of those 76 B's that didn't have a front sway bar attached. Purchased one from Moss and have it installed. Question: The sway bar link leans about 5 to 10 degrees toward the rear of the car and very close to hitting the shock bumper mount. Is this normal? Do I have the bar in right (bend is toward the top when looking horizontally at the bar)? How tight should the link be on the A-arms?
 
erm... I've added a anti-sway bar to my '76. I don't think I have the same clearance problems that you're describing. I got my bar used with all the necessary links to install onto a car (had to get the appropriate wishbones sepparately).

Did you use the pre-existing holes to mount the bar to the chassis, or did you make your own? My '76 has pre-existing holes in the chassis with nuts inside them. All I had to do was thread the mount bolts into the holes to mount it to the chassis.

I can't remember if I mounted my bar with the curve going up or down. I'll have to dig through some pics to see if I have any already that'll help out here. If not, I'll climb under me car this weekend and snap a shot of the setup for ya.
 
well, I've just dug though my pictures. It doesn't seem like I have any on my computers at this time. No worries though, I'll be sure to snap a short of my sway bar tomorrow and post it up for you to see.
