I may have screwed up when I remove the center link from the pitman and idler arm I didn't mark it right or left. Is there a difference???????

Thanks Moe
 
I am watching intently since I currently have the link off my 64 Valiant 225. I still have the tie rod ends on, so I can tell L & R. I'll mark mine to be safe.

I expect it can only go on one way since the holes for the Pitmann and idler arms are tapered. I'll think more when I get home and maybe post a photo.
 
Most of the ones that I have worked on have a drop and offset. The offset goes to the rear away from the oil pan.
 
this I believe is the right orientation sitting in the drivers seat.

Sorry for being late with the photos I promised. FABO wasn't responding last night. This shows the linkage on my 64 Valiant. I haven't yet removed the Pitmann or idler arms, so that will orient you. I checked my 65 Dart and its linkage is connected the same. I removed everything, but recall making careful drawings. Of course both could be wrong the same way. I found many things installed wrong on the Valiant, like the recent drum brake job. Your photos look the same as mine (tie rod nuts angle down).
