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

As I recall though, there's no threads on the end that go to the fork. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 26 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 26 | | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 841 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 841 | 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 | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 84 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 84 | thanks, guys.
