Pitman arm is hitting tortion bar! Help?

Someone was blaming his problem on having a 67 K frame , totally bogus information . The main difference with the 67 K is the idler arm mount , that does nothing to cause his problem. I remember seeing an article in a mopar mag where the author put the later idler arm on a 67 and added a plate to the top to hold the idler stable.

I put a 73 up Box in a 72 Duster wit ha small block , used the 73 centerlink when I discovered I had to change the pitman arm for the new box , this was back when I was 18 ... about 1981 , used the 72 tie rods assemblies , it was a small block with black jack headers that had been bottomed out so many times I lost count , nothing hit anywhere .

The idler on my 69 383 GTS hits the oil pan and the block , they don't make the correct idler for it so I may switch to a later manual box to flip the stud down so I have more clearance , but I'm not sure if the centerlink is going to clear the pan that way. As it is the centerlink is higher on the idler side and is rubbing on the pan wearing a groove in it , the idler was changed once before I bought the car , car has 56k original miles . This has nothing to do with the subject but just showing that things aren't always made correctly either.
