Tie Rod Setup
I'm replacing the Tie Rods and Tie Rod Tubes. My 1976 has the original Tie Rods and hardware. So far I purchased the following hardware.
2 x Proforged Billet Aluminum Tied Rod Sleeves
2 x Moog ES232R
2 x Moog ES232L
I have the parts in hand and I'm trying to determine which Tie Rod orientation, for example does the right hand thread go towards the tire? I have found a few articles but there is a good amount of contradicting information.
This document seems to be the best one out there. I'm looking for any guidance on the process so let me know what you think.

There is a convention, and I didn't follow it. I have both heim-jointed strut rods, and threaded rod tie rods with jam nuts. I placed all of my left-hand threaded components on the left side of the car, and marked that end of the rod with red tape (red, port, left).
Hopefully someone can point you to the conventional setup. I know I've read it on this Forum somewhere.
