A body K member

67 idlers are expensive and hard to get. You can likely buy a different K for the price of one. As I said earlier, since he has a later UNWANTED K, he could weld the later mount into the 67 and convert it. I see NO reason to stay with a 67 idler

I know, and I would not bother changing anything on a 67 K Frame. I'll take the factories precision over some one elses fabrication. The 67 idler mount is tapered like a tie rod end so it locks in place. I do cheat and use an even more expensive tapered needle bearing idler rather than stock. Also on my 68. My brothers car was never babied and handled extremely well. Think 5 plus years of rural South Dakota, gravel roads and 400,000+ miles in all. You guys simply do not have the experience with the earlier cars. That idler is expensive, but there is no problem running one. I also put over a quarter million miles on my 64 and 66 Barracuda with the same idler mount. Never problem one and both cars handled very well with wide performance high speed radials.
