I think connecting the spring between the release fork and bellcrank seems to be enough. It looks a litle cleaner than putting on the return spring bracket. Mine's not original so not worried about having the correct extension wire. I just want it to work right and be safe. Here is a picture of the bellcrank and pivot ball poor fitting. I ended up filing the pivot ball's larger diameter, just under the ball, so that I could get a 1/2" wrench on it to tighten it. Notice the flats at the base of the pivot ball bolt are way too close to the block to get a wrench on it with the casting protrusions. http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l206/sheenster_2006/68%20FB/?action=view¤t=PivotBallBellcrankBadFitting.jpg Sheen> .........................................................................> I'm not sure anybody has that extension wire, pn 11.
