Traction Bars for 1967 and 1968

Short answer: 1968s didn’t have traction bars. For 1967, what you got depended on engine, transmission, and rear-axle type:

1967 Firebird Traction Bars
Engine / Trans Bars
OHC-6 1-bbl auto None (unless 3.23 or higher axle)
OHC-6 1-bbl manual RH side
OHC-6 4-bbl auto RH side
OHC-6 4-bbl manual Both sides
V-8 2 & 4-bbl auto RH side
V-8 2 & 4-bbl manual Both sides
The rear-axle type also factored in — a 4-pinion rear (open or posi) got both bars/radius rods. So a 326 2-bbl convertible with two bars is plausible.
