K frame confusion
What you need to do is to look and see which direction the tapered ends "point" where they connect to the steering link. The STEERING LINK" is actually the KEY to the chinese puzzle. Here:
Pre 73 setup:
NOTICE that on the tapered ends of the idler and pitman, the tapers/ nuts point UP
73 and later setup:
NOTICE that the tapers/ nuts on the idler/ pitman point DOWN
The year / type of the K member actually has nothing to do with your problem.
