Hey all...hope your enjoying your summer..I got me an old school k14 moog idler arm for my manual steer 63. The old idler had a straight bracket and the new one has this curved bracket...did I put it on backwards? There was a spacer provided on the back side of the old idler ...not sure on this one...thx!

The picture below is not the best, but I know it is correct. The idler arm with a bend in it should have the spacer between the frame and the lower hole. So your photo shows that you have it twisted 180 degrees.
