Correct Idler Arm for 67
« on: March 26, 2011, 04:51:03 PM »
  For anybody out there looking for a CORRECT Idler Arm for a 67, this one is correct.  As some of you may know, most of them out there don't match up correctly.  I just received one of these, and it matches up perfectly to my old one.  Little more expensive, but if you want it right.

Out of curiosity, what is the casting number on it? Will you post a picture or two so we can see what he's offering? Thanks.

 Maybe I miss stated.  This is not a NOS GM part, but it does line up perfectly for proper geometry.  I am attaching 2 pics., the new part is a little heavier casting.  The casting # on the new replacement is; 14  256    04.   My original part # is; 3908385  8  GMT.   I had a MOOG  K6099  which was listed as correct for my 67, it wasn't even close to matching up to the original.

Thanks for posting the comparison photos. A picture of the NOS one would be nice to see but I was mostly interested in seeing what the guy from ebay was actually selling. Thanks.

   Sorry that I haven't thought to do this earlier.  I now have pics. of this Idler Arm installed, and the geometry looks perfect.  I am posting pics..  I am very happy with this Idler Arm, the little hump on top even matches the Pitman Arm.
