I have a 69 340 4 speed barracuda, disc brake car as far as I can tell. I was about to remove LCA but noticed the steering radius was not moving lock to lock, I have 1/4 inch gap between steering bump stops. this is due to the LCA bolt hitting the sway bar bracket on the LCA. so I thinking that the forward bolt had to be reversed. once both bolts are reversed (L&R) I get full lock to lock but not I created another problem, the rotors wont seat properly and or wont turn due to the nut now hits the rotor, so I was wondering if somebody put the wrong bolt in there
 
Is your vehicle on jack stands, and or, up on the hoist?
Then your wheels and tires are hanging down, in an abnormal suspension travel.
Put the car on the ground, all the way down, and you will probably be ok.
 
I have heard that you can reverse the bolt like you have done, but sounds like that may not be the case. I have clearanced the sway bar tabs for those bolts. You might also be able to shorten the bolts.
