Where to drill holes for idler arm
 
1 Attachment(s)
I installed 85 arms and linkage on my 62, However I have been looking for a pic as to where the new style idler arm ended up at. I have moved mine around a few time with a pair of welding pliers and only want to do this once. If someone has a good pic of the location that would be great. Dont forget this is a X frame.. Thanks again.

if you blow this pic up you can see that it is just postioned at this point..

Here’s the best I can offer. It shows a 1975 idler arm on a 1960 frame. I actually used a manila file folder to make a template from the 1975 donor frame. So this has the exact same orientation to the suspension it had on the 1975 chassis.

You rock!!! thanks.. I had it in that general area but kept trying to measure a hundred things to check both sides and had it not as far back as that. That is what I needed thanks again.
