Well, Ames strikes again!! This is the second time in six months that they have shipped me a part that was NOT what it was described to be in their catalog!
This is their response to my call/email about the center link.
Lee, These center links are different between the 6 & 8 cylinder cars. We sell the the same piece for both because of the extreme price on the 69 V8 center link and that the one we sell will actually work for both. So the "correct" center link is available, just at a much higher price and it also has a core charge. Thanks,Jamie Ames Performance
