Ready to re-install the upper and lower control arms, but want to ensure I get this right. Looking down on the upper control arms, how do you identify the driver side UCA from the passenger side?
Thanks all - I just want to get this right.
Just to be sure - this pic was taken looking down on the passenger upper arm with the left hand side of the picture towards the front of the car and the right hand side towards the passenger compartment. So is
this correct? Thanks for all the replies!
Whats going on with the 'return line? Did you 'T/Y' off the line going to the carb or have a pressure regulator? My '70 has the return directly off the fuel pump.

I used the return from the GF-432 fuel filter, the 69 pump did not have the return built in. Unfortunately, I discovered yesterday that the previous owner(s) apparently crimped off the return line! So I guess I'm going to have to replace the return line to the tank. Don't get me wrong, I love fixing my girl back up, but I really wish the previous owners would have done the job right instead of doing hokey repairs. Doesn't take that much more time to do it right and it's much better in the long run.
looks like some nice new pieces going on in that picture
maybe clean the thread up on those studs while your in there ?
I will run a tap over the threads and clean them up a bit. I was just fitting the upper arm in to ensure I had the right arm for the passenger side. I'm using new hardware everywhere I can and using anti-seize on all the threads as well. While I don't have a NCRS car, I do like it to look as stock as possible.
