Anyone know of how to or where to find a new trunk lift spring/bar? I believe mine is broken and have yet to dig into it.

Good LUCK! Suggest Old Wrecking yards or find some diarlect 2nd Gen Camaro or Fire Bird.

I've been told that there are 2 Diameter of Trunk Lid Torsion Bars for the 70; the smaller one for no spoiler and a larger one with spoiler but I have never noticed any difference other then there are notches in the Torsion Bar Mounting Brackets to vary the amount of force.

Try Classic Industries Part# 9868539 for the left and Part# 9868540 for the right. $25/ea.

Should add that if you don't have a spoiler, the right hand spring is # 9868538.

I ordered the heavy spring from Classic Industries for lid with spoiler and it works great.
