This question probably seems simple, but here goes:
I have a '66 with 283 and 3 speed column shift.
When putting it together, I have the clutch rod that goes from the pedal linkage to the bellhousing fork and it does not have threads. When looking at the assembly manual, it looks like there are threads and a nut. I have the rod and a "nut like" device that must rest on the fork somehow.
Can an expert explain this to me?
thanks in advance

I'll run out and take a picture of mine right now. As I recall though, there's no threads on the end that go to the fork.

Sorry it took so long - I had to dig snow out from around my building's door.

There's a tension spring around the clutch fork that keeps the rod engaged into the nut-like thing.

the end toward the z bar has the threads and where you make the free play adjustment. the clutch fork end has the wedge shaped device that keeps it centered on the clutch fork. there are a couple of other small parts too. i had a 66 that i made my own rod for and it didn't have threads i just used more nuts to make the adjustment mabey someone did that to yours. hr
