FP283 is correct, aside from the bolt, the lock washer and the nut, they are NOT correct, or really even usable as the nut will NOT index in the lower subframe. I should have mentioned that in the video.
That said ;, my Next trip Down to Ames I will bring a tiny front frame section, and ask them to pull a 771 kit and discuss the difference and make sure they know what actually works.
NEITHER is correct for 1975 or 76
The '75 and '76 are a much taller unit and the nut has no "imprint" or locator in the subframe. This is because the car has a header panel which sets the distance apart , so it only needs a slight side to side adjustment.
The 771 kit "might" work on a 75 and 76 if you have 3 hands and a buddy to help.
