looking for a good pic (centerlink) steering

I'm about to reassemble my front steering components. upgraded to 2.5 drop spindles and disk brakes. But I searched and cant find a good pic of the front steering components like the proper centerlink position and a pic of the tie rod ends. I heard I could be installed upside down or backwards. just trying to avoid that.

I have some good pics here on page 24 of my build

If you need to see something more specific just let me know. Remember the inner tie rods point toward the front of the vehicle. You may have to shift the center link side to side to install the inner tie rods.

Youre using the 71-72 centerlink and inner/outer rods right? Your 67 steering rack won t work for disc set ups.

What are you calling the "steering rack"? you lost me with the terminology there.
The 67 center link will work jet fine with the correct year drop spindle.
