Default Re: If there is one thing that doing my first,,,

I suppose I should clarify somewhat...

I've spent the last week in what can only be described as a clutch linkage debacle from h&ll.

Yes, it involves repop parts...z-bar, pushrod, frame bracket, etc.

I've been on the look-out for original parts for over a year now, haven't found anything so I took a chance and bought a reproduction kit.

I should'a known better...

I still can't tell if this "kit" was designed for a `66 or a `67, (they are different) or something else entirely.

I'm to the point where it functions...sort'a. (I sure would be happy if the clutch pushrod boot on the firewall would stay in place when the clutch is depressed.)

Good thing I have both `66 AND `67 clutch linkage parts on-hand, because it took a mix of the 2 to come up with a system that will even function.

Needless to say I'm still on the lookout for gennie `67 BB clutch linkage parts, and if I can find them, this repop crap will unceremoniously meet a timely end in a garbage dumpster.

(don't even get me started on repop sheetmetal.....)
