So I got my pitman and idler arms today. They sent me an Idler arm for the '68 and up cars. (pictured center) Of course they mount to the k-member differently. Mine uses a ball joint style mount. (pictured right)
I'm really not sure what I'm going to do. I'll call Dick at Firm Feel tomorrow and see what he says. Does anyone know if I can have the ball joint mount of the old one fitted to the new one? It looks close to the same size. I don't have the time or money right now to swap the k member.
Theold pitman arm isn't pictured because its still on the car. I forgot I needed to buy a pitman arm puller.
That's what I call a stud mounted idler. There is just a tapered hole in your K-member that the idler goes into. The 67 and down A-bodies are like that. Those inherently have less support (flex). That middle idler is a thru hole type that has a support on the bottom and top.
I bet that 66/67 idler is not easy to get (I bet discontinued by Moog). That's why you got that 68 up unit in the center.
And that is one of the main reasons I suggested in the post prior going to the 70 B-body K-member.
