Default Need Mustang II Wheel Bearing Help

I've introduced myself to a nice predicament...I'm using a Mustang II front suspension on my SV Cobra. I'm using Mustang II spindles...Granada 11" rotors...I went to Pep Boys to buy the front wheel bearings and seals. Of course I tell them that I need a set of wheel bearings for a 1978 Mustang II. They have to go through all their rigga-ma-roll about what engine size...blah...blah...blah....so they say, "What ring gear size?" Ring gear? I restated that I wanted front bearings....the guy said yeah, apparently, there's a set for 6.75" ring gears, and a set for everything other than 6.75" ring gears. This makes no sense at all to me, so I get the ones for everything but 6.75" ring gears.

I get home and start thinking.....well.....I do have Granada rotors....I wonder if I should have gotten Granada wheel bearings....?

So now I have totally confused myself. I'm not for sure what will interchange...but it seems that if you can use the Granada rotors on Mustang II spindles, it should work.

To cut to the chase, I have a set of front wheel bearings and seals for a 1978 Mustang II w/ a 302 and a ring gear size other than 6.75. Can anyone reaffirm that this will work? I don't have the rotors or spindles yet....they are ordered but haven't arrived, so I can't check the fitment...I was just trying to get some parts ahead of time.
