Im looking at installing the quick ratio arms and my Belvedere . i have a rebuilt ps box from Firmfeel. some sites say it fits my car and on others no , the way the pit man is made differs from oe. the parts that attaches to the subframe is different . and if any one has insatlled them is there any issues with bump steer , thanks
 
It won’t fit a 67 k frame because the fast ratio idler is a through bolt attachment at the k frame and the 67 is a taper joint single hole at the k frame. It needs to be a 68 or newer k frame.
 
I've heard of people just using the fast ratio pitman arm with the old idler arm. There was a article in one of the Mopar magazines. Maybe someone on here has it.
 
The bracelet for the idler arm can be changed to the later type. It will require cutting the old one off, obtaining the the later style and welding back on.

I just put a 69 k frame in my 67. I was doing an engine swap and suspension rebuild anyway. Took the opportunity to reinforce the k frame and fully weld the perimeter too.

If you weld a bracket in make sure to measure where your old one puts the idler at so you replicate the angle. I would recommend getting a standard 68-70 idler so you can exactly get the right location as the 67. Make a jig off of known hard locations on the frame or engine and transmission that locates the drag link end of the idler. After cutting the 67 bracket off the k frame use the standard 69 idler bolted to your location bracket to locate where the 69-70 style bracket should be welded to the k frame. After that you are good to go to install the fast ratio idler.
 
You can use the pitman only. That’s the way the factory did it.
I have excellent pricing on long pitmans.
Pm me if you need.
