    Borgson swap 67.

    Have the 68 borgson box in the 67 . Had to add the 68 pitman arm and manual center link. Do I also need the manual idler arm? What is the difference in the manual and power idler?

    I think MS was edumacated bout the differences.
    Basically, on a 65/66, so probably 67/68 as well, the PS idler rubber bush, has nubs on it that aids in returning to centre.
    Because of that, I'd stay with the PS idler.

    In practice it doesn't seem to matter.  I went from manual steering and did not swap my idler arm.  I'd say, so long as its in good shape go ahead and just use what you've got.

    Like TKOPerformance, I also did not replace my idler arm when I installed my Borgeson box. I went from manual to power steering.  It was in good shape and everything works well.
    Good luck with your project.
