Sway bar or center link?

Typically when referring to a v-8 center link it is for the 62-66 mopar a- body cars. The v-8 cars had a larger drop linkage versus the slant cars.
The 67-72 cars I believe are the same(v8 vs slant) as are 73-76 cars.
There might be exceptions.
The year groupings do not interchange --(might work with modification)
73- up has different sway bars than 67-72-- 62 -66 has a narrower "K"
Hope that helps.
Lawrence

The '73-'76 sway bar is different from the '67-'72 sway bar. Doesn't matter what engine was in the car, but the year ranges don't interchange. The late K-member needs the late sway bar.

No, the late k-member does not require the late sway bar. As a matter of fact many late k-members are already drilled for the early sway bar, or at least one half is drilled. You would need early LCAs with sway bar tabs or fabricate your own tabs. If running late discs with front mounted calipers you can fix the interference problem (caliper to sway bar end) by using shorter end links.

The late sway bar will not fit the early k-member because the bottom is solid.
