    Drag link measurements

    Can anyone please get me a couple of measurements of  1968 drag links, are other years different?

    #1.  I need the idler arm center to the Pitman arm center on a 1968 manual drag link.

    #2  Also need the Idler arm center to the outside  of the threaded end that the P/S valve screws onto.

     I have two P/S drag links and one is about 1 1/2" longer than the other and has different offsets, don't know which one is correct for a 68.

    The manual link I have is 25 1/2" center to center, don't know what year it is off of.
