correct torsion bar diameter for 383 HP engine w/ 4 spd

Can anyone tell me what the diameter sizes were for torsion bars for a 69 Charger?  I just located a pair on Summitracing.com for $150 (which is the cheapest I have found) and will probably end up replacing mine as I can afford them.  Any benefits with a thicker bar?  My specs of my car is a 69 Charger with a factory 383 HP 4 bbl engine, power steering, power disc brakes, factory 4 spd, and a added sure grip rear.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  If it matters, my car has the Hemi type leaf springs in the back, 5 on one, 6 on the other side or something like that.  I am not home so I can not look at the car currently.

Thanks,

Brian

Lots of torsion bar work going on these days

these are 68-70 facts probably more years

stock B-body (and possibly \6 Chargers?) =  .88"

stock V8 Chargers, 318 & both kinds of 383s =  .90"

Charger R/T 440s & 426 Hemis =  .92"
