    The '70-'72, '73-'74 & '75-'77 center links differ, with '75-'77 being the best('73-'74 worst, difficult to find idler bushings). Supporting parts all swap, I have the late system on my Comet.

    so a 75 through 77 center link will that fit in my car or do I have to do some kind of modifications because my power steering valve is a brand new so all I would have to do is find the center link connected to my power steering valve and go from there correct.

    Yup... Only part that differs is the idler arm, same as '75-'77 Granada.

    I rebuilt/resealed my orig '72 valve and cylinder.

    unfortunately I was unable to have my power steering control valve rebuilt because it was so damaged

    Assuming not damaged, rebuilding valve is a piece of cake.
