Power steering centerlink

I'm trying to find out if the '65 6cyl Falcon power steering centerlink would work underneath a '65 6cyl Comet. I was referencing my shop manual's body dimensions section and it seems like the Mustang was more narrow than the Comet in '65 so I have doubts that a Mustang centerlink would work. I don't know how the Falcon compared. I have a '65 Mustang and '65 Comet in my garage so I guess I can measure both manual steering centerlinks to see how they compare. I'm just unsure of the Falcon and was wondering if anyone here had a '65 6cyl Falcon w/ power steering and could share their dimensions or happened to know the answer.
thanks,
Matt

65 Falcon/Comet steering parts are the same between like engines.
65-66 Mustang V8 tie rod ends and sleeves are the same for V8 Falcon/Comet (not sure about 6 but I suspect they are the same as well). And the V8 PS cars use different ends on the driver side to get around the valve.
So:
Falcon/Comet centerlinks are the same.
Mustang is Mustang specific.

Thanks Johno and Joe! I was hoping the '65 6cyl PS centerlink would interchange for a '65 6cyl Comet and it sounds like they do.
thanks,
Matt
