Help with idler arm

I hear ya man, but I also know how frustrating it can be when the forum is full of all the same questions. I appreciate the help though, you guys really saved my arse, I was scratchin my head lol. Unfortunately I could only get an OEM idler ordered through O'reilly's, no biggie though, I'll use it until I can afford a complete front end rebuild. I'm going to have to take my time and make sure I know what I have when I order new parts for the rebuild. My theory is, when the previous owner swapped the /6 for the 318, they pulled the 318 out of a 1968 something. They must've pulled everything, seeing as how they cut the power steering shaft and welded on a manual steering shaft into a manual pump, probably swapped the K-frame, pitman, center link, idler, and who knows what else. I'll get her up and running, there's just going to be a few day lag. Unfortunately I won't be cruisin' tomorrow like I wanted to lol. Thanks again though guys, very very helpful and knowledgeable members on the forum!


If your K frame has the biscuit mounts it is from a 1972 back and if it has spool mounts it is 1973 through 1976.
