40cpe is this for a 1940 Ford car? The diagram you posted is later and shows the (1941) 11Y- style of drag link that replaced the drag link used in 1940 production. If you look at earlier diagrams they will show the (1936) 68- style drag link used in production in 1940. That 68- style drag link has the adjustable tie rod end at the steering arm. So I would connect the drag link, depending upon what drag link my car had, as the parts diagram shows.
