Looking for an original idler arm for a 68 ps car. This would be for a v8 not a 6 cyl. Forward contact info.

you might want to try Chockostang. He has a website. I got a nice original from him but had to get another bushing from NAPA.

T, what kind of markings did this original idler have? Any raised part number or ford logo? Anything at all regarding markings done at time of casting.

Yes, you will see a part # on the shaft part. It is faint but slightly raised, I might be wrong but I believe a C7 # is also correct for a 68.

Actually not a FORD logo but a FOMOCO in a rectangle.
