Has not been a stick car for many years-I purchased all new stock style reproduction pedal and linkage as a starting point since i had nothing or previous Chevy ll experience..
Car is not quite running yet.I have it all assembled and thought it looked super flimsy and has poor geometry.
It has a fairly stiff non-adjustable Ram clutch-I have only pushed the pedal half a dozen times-the pedal to bell crank bar has already bent!
I guess it would make good sense to replace the upper and lower rods with round tube with rod ends...but any other experience/thoughts?
Thanks
Dom
Unless you are using a Chevy11 block you need to modify the bell crank the get the geometry right. If you are using a non Chevy11 block you will need to make a plate for the pivot ball and start from there. heims are always better but a little more work. Good Luck
