Rebuilding the front end on my 68 Dart. It has a 73 and up idler, pitman and center link. It has 73 and down lower ball joints because of the Kelsey Hayes disc brakes. Most show 1962-1969 as ES319R and ES319L and 1970-1976 as ES401R and ES401R Mancini show they change over at 1968 and up?? Any idea which ones to use?? This is the front end that I have. Thanks.
Which tie rods?? 1968 Dart

I don't believe it matters as long as the ends and sleeves match each other.
If you are "leaning" one way or other, I would get the later ones
The "big thing' to watch is that your steering box, pitman, idler, and center link must go together. I've got from early to late center link, because of a box/ pitman swap, and kept the same tie rod ends

either will work.
i believe the only change was the ball / socket dimensions

now would be a good time to upgrade to the C body tie rod ends and sleeve
