Pulled a K-Frame from a 67 Formula S 383 car. What other year Barracuda's will the K-Frame fit? Will it fit Darts also?

Yup, and Yup. It's all the same 67-76. Though the 73+ spool mount type is superior.

67 also has a hanging mount for the idler arm, not the cup/socket style on 68 up K frames.
...the 67 idler arm is much more expensive, and if damaged, it tends to mess up the socket in the K-frame, which is not really repairable, other than in the sense that you can fix anything if you have enough money.

The idler arm can be made into the 68 and up style on the 67 K-frame..a good idea

Not to side-track the thread but I would like to do this on my 67. Any photos or link would be great!

Hi MobileCustoms
I think there was a section in the Mopar Chassis manual on changing the idle arm mount on a 67 to the 68 & up style. If it's not in there then it was a mag article at one time. The basic idea is to just cut off the 67 and weld on the 68 & up style, or a simple addition of the other support bracket for the 68 & up. carful measure and fabrication of course. Has been done...if you look at the two K frames its easy to see how.
