    I also react on that huge difference, but if I equalise the weight I think the car will lean to drivers side, or am I wrong?

    132lbs does seem like a big difference.  Main difference would be all the steering parts.
    Gear box, column, pump, etc.  Would have guessed ~75lbs?

    Don't forget that the Engine/trans is offset 1.5" to the right.

    And since this is a 6-pack 4speed car it has different l/r rear springs.

    small difference in spring load will have a big effect on weight distribution.
