Tie rod length

Hello all
Well just got done installing all the 73-87 spindles and steering components on my sons 70. I was wondering if anyone knew what the center to center measurement was on the tie rods? Doesn't have to be perfect just good enough to keep the tires straight. I will try and measure it up this week but was wondering if anyone could measure there's and get me close. Here's a quick picture of the mc gaughys disc brakes and drop spindles.
Thanks

Re: Tie rod length

Are you just changing to disc or changing everything as I did everything is 73-87 on the front but the cross member? For me It took awhile but I thing you can update in a weekend. With the painting and replacing of parts took me couple weeks
