Rhino - This is the ballstud bracket I used (picture is from brewers website) Are you saying the bolt holes should be straight up and down ? - my bracket is definately slanted/tipped forward in my car - hmmmm - I know the bolt holes in the scattershield itself are angled - I have 3 of them - 2 are in my other cars and they are all angled but they are also in b-bodies Are the bolt holes straight up and down when using a stock bellhousing ? (not questioning your advice at all I am just curious before I do any more cutting) I will look at pics online of the stock bellhousings - hopefully it will be that simple Thank you for your help

I tried 3 different fork pivot brackets and 3 other mopar forks - no dice I also checked my other scattershields to see if somehow the nuts for the fork pivot were welded in the wrong location I have a fork that fits B-body SB/BB-A/BB-E SB/BB and a fork pivot for 68-72 BB cars thats in the car now (shown in the pics) I know there are MANY guys here alot smarter than I am so I figured I would ask before I really start

Pics of the 68 Hemi Super Stock linkage from the Jim Schild book.
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Rhinodart - Thank you for posting those pics for me. I know your a busy guy and I appreciate it. I have from a couple of Pm's that the linkage will be at a slight uphill angle (5-10*) - everyone said modify what you need to get the torque shaft as plumb as possible to the car and then just run it.. I am now done obsessing over this Thanks to everyone who replied with advice
