I'm trying to find out if the '65 6cyl Falcon power steering centerlink would work underneath a '65 6cyl Comet. I was referencing my shop manual's body dimensions section and it seems like the Mustang was more narrow than the Comet in '65 so I have doubts that a Mustang centerlink would work. I don't know how the Falcon compared. I have a '65 Mustang and '65 Comet in my garage so I guess I can measure both manual steering centerlinks to see how they compare. I'm just unsure of the Falcon and was wondering if anyone here had a '65 6cyl Falcon w/ power steering and could share their dimensions or happened to know the answer.
thanks,
Matt

Re: Power steering centerlink
but I think you want to know if 64 & 65 6cyl. center links are the same right?
Re: Power steering centerlink
65 Falcon/Comet steering parts are the same between like engines.
65-66 Mustang V8 tie rod ends and sleeves are the same for V8 Falcon/Comet (not sure about 6 but I suspect they are the same as well). And the V8 PS cars use different ends on the driver side to get around the valve.
So:
Falcon/Comet centerlinks are the same.
Mustang is Mustang specific.

Thanks Johno and Joe! I was hoping the '65 6cyl PS centerlink would interchange for a '65 6cyl Comet and it sounds like they do.
thanks,

The 'Stang part is actually longer, not by much but enough. Them 'Stangers got it easy with more space under hood front to back AND left to right!!
