Re: 32 wishbones how to tell the difference
I think weld to weld is 45 on a 32 and 43 on a 33-34. If no one verifies, I will check tomorrow. I believe the ball forging is the same 32-34. Some of the A forgings were quite simular except bowed. I have considered flatening an A to fix a 32.

Re: 32 wishbones how to tell the difference
I'm pretty sure the '32 wishbone is longer than the '33-34. Its the opposite of what you would think.

Re: 32 wishbones how to tell the difference
If you're doing a "stretch," say lengthening an A to use in a '32, or a "shrink," say '32 to '33 / '34, you'll have to heat and bend the center forging to get the perch to perch spacing right with the new leg length. For this reason, I think that the '32 center forging might be a different forging from the '33 / '34. Either that or they might have tweaked them at the factory. (Anyway, I have a nice '33 / '34 wishbone that I'd like to swap for a '32 if anyone is in the opposite boat.)

Re: 32 wishbones how to tell the difference
A while back, I did some measuring with a tape measure. (My numbers might be off a bit.)
For a '32, I measured 44" from centerline of ball to centerline of axle (measured along centerline of car.) For a '33/'34, I measured 41-3/8" Another time, I measured centerline of ball to centerline of perch pin hole at 47-3/4" for a '32 and 45-1/2" for a '33/'34. Both cases, centerline of perch pin hole to centerline of perch pin hole was 37"-37-1/4", but it's easy to tweak that during assembly. Hope this helps.
