77 Buick 8.5 vs. 68-72

[83LSWagon]

What's the difference in UCA mounting positions? I got the axle from a 77 about a year and a half agoe just to get the car rolling, and haven't been able to look into it at all. If the arms are only 150 or so like the 68-72 versions I'd rather just buy the arms.

Does anyone have measurements of the separation between mounting points on the 68-72 axles? Maybe I can compare the 7.5 in the parts car, the one currently in my car, and the measurements someone gets for me.

I have a 74 Chevelle and as I remember the upper mounts are a lot wider and rotated even more than the earlier models. I dont think I have seen swap arms for the 73-77 body rears into a G body.
