1966 Chevy ll clutch linkage help..

[Mark Ugrich]

I would look into an adjustable clutch.The operating pressure would be much lower and reduce the stress on the linkage.

Okay , you'll need a 9 o'clock bell, if you want to get rid of that Z .bar contraption..

We built several stick Chevy II's in the 70's/
Our team mate, Joe Moon DeLorenzo designed the set up.
Duffy even sold a few sets in his catalog.

It's not real hard .You start with a 1st gen.Camaro cross shaft, and narrow it about an inch .
The afore-mentioned block bracket is from a a 69 C series truck.

I'll help you if you decide to go that route.

Mark has it right, I never had the pivot ball bracket Mark showed. Mine was 3/8 or 1/2 " thick and only used the hole closest to the ball and it was made so it would rest against the boss in the block and not turn or move. I don't know what my bell crank started life as, but a camaro one should work once it is shortened.
