Early b four speed clutch linkage question

Early b four speed clutch linkage question - 03/15/18 04:35 AM

Hoping someone can help me out here

My 65 coronet has a 67 coronet k frame and a Lakewood scattershield

Iā€™m in need of the torque shaft that connects the clutch pedal link arm to the clutch fork

I had one that would have worked but losf it in my divorce/move

The lake wood has multiple positions for the pivot ball. So even though my engine / trans is set back about 1.5ā€ from Stock my ball studs still line up.

I have a big block clutch fork for a later model car.

What torque shaft will I need ? Anyone done this before ?

Disclaimer: I'm not using the Lakewood B/H. Just trying to point an issue you may run into.

Headers installed? If so, I'd start with a generic V-8 shaft. You're likely going to have to move the tab on the shaft anyway and you may have to shorten the shaft as well, which might allow you to get the tab to clear of any interference.

Your clutch fork may be the variable here.

I ended up using an unmodified slant 6 shaft in order to clear the TTI headers.

Interesting. The torque shaft I had was found in the trunk of a slant 6 car. Maybe it was a slant shaft

Thanks

Measure the distance between the balls and compare to the dimensions on Brewer's site. Unfortunately, not all shafts have the length listed.
