Jim- Since nobody else responded, I went out
and looked at my 64 BB 4 speed. My adjustment rod runs on the outside of
the Z bar, toward the driver's side. If it were on the inside, it would
rub on the boss for the oil filter. I have plenty of clearance with Hooker
headers. I ran the same set-up when I had a small-block in it too.
Although the bodies are very different, mechanically, there is very little
difference in our cars. Is it possible that you do not have the proper
length on your clutch fork?

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Clutch Rod
Alignment
Just finishing the conversion from auto to 4
speed. This is a 72 chevelle, small
block with headers. Headers areHooker comps. It appears that there is an
alignment issuse. The adjsutment rodfrom teh z-bar to the fork does not line
up. The angle is all wrong. I have not instructions with the headers to see
what might be moded or parts swapped. Bending the arm on the z-bar seems a
little extreme.
If i put the rod on it hits the hearder
slightly. (Had to raise the engine to get the header in). Putting
the rod on the other side of the zbar, it points too far towards the
bellhousing to align in the cup on the fork. The zbar is correct
(aftermarket repo), is straight but is a little high on the engine side, not
sure what the cause of that is, unless the trans is a little
high.
Thanks,
Jim
