73 cuda non power disc. After putting new LCA and UCA bushings in, I noticed that my calipers are in front of the spindle centerline. Is this correct? And am I thinking wrong, arn't they usually on the rearward side of most cars?

You have them on right. All E-body calipers are in front.

Thanks, I thought I might have swapped sides with the spindles somehow.

Depends on the caliper. Viper calipers go to the rear when hung on a Cuda.

If you have Porsche calipers on your E body then you'll want to run them on the front.
