Well, you're not wrong and I'll rephrase the question. For those of you that have mounted a rear sway bar to the lower control arms of a 1965 to 1970 B-body or have a 1971-75 Bonneville with a sway bar - what are the locations of the holes? Or I could use a measurement of the distance across the bar width at the front and rear hole locations.

To restate the problem, the new Addco bar slides forward between the two control arms until it is about half way on the arms, and that sucks. The bar crossing about the diff cover doesn't have much influence on rigidity of the arms since the bar would be very close to the rear bushings, but getting halfway up the arm will probably lead to some heavy torsional stresses on a part of the arm that isn't designed for that type of load.
