Here is a good thread:

Thanks for the link. I had just found and read through that whole thread. Since I have the 66 frame, I'm going to go with the later simpler setup. I have tubular control arms with brackets for the rear cables. I wasn't aware the bracket location was different and they don't specify years. I'll have to measure.

Also, I had been looking at the LMC diagram, but it only shows the cables for the 66. I need the hooks, and my guide rod is pretty mangled. In that thread someone mentioned 67-72 parts are all the same as 66. LMC sells a guide kit for 67-72. So, figure I'll get the guide kit and different cables and see what I can do.

Edit: I measured the cable brackets on my tubular arms. That are the same as the brackets on the original 66 arms. So, I think I'm good. I'm curious how the 67+ guide rod from LMC attaches, since the original 66 is riveted, but I think I'll go ahead and order and find out.

Thanks.
