Back when UAP/NAPA (Canada) sold Moog chassis parts, I recal that we had a specifications book that had tie-rod ends by dimensions. We're back into the NCP (NAPA Chassis or Perfect Circle / Spicer) now, and I'm not sure that such a catalog even exists anymore.
I can give you the dimensions for a specific application / part number combination, however.
Here is your 1978 Ford Fairmont.

All of the refernces seem to idicate that this information MUST have come from a referenced drawing in the specifications book.
Hope this helps
