Need a #Please

I removed the engine/transmission, original straight axle and all hardware that was in the way of installing a CV IFS. I marked the center line of the straight axle for future reference. Now for the number I need. I have read that the IFS should be moved forward 1 to 11/2 inches. Is there a measurement that anyone could provide such as from a known point on the original frame to the center of the front CV IFS bolt holes. I don't want to use the swag method or reinvent the wheel, just want to get it right the first time. Many thanks for the feedback.

Try this from Mike Lane. FB has a group about CV IFS installs. Edward Ritchey makes install kits.

Forgot, These measurements center the wheel in the fenders.
