Does anyone know the correct length of the Z-bar for both an A-body and B-Body?
Or else could you point me to where I could find out?
They wouldn't be the same length, would they?
Thanks.
Need more info to answer your questions. They are not the same length. Year / Model / Engine size Dan

Tube length should be 9" long with the bent arm welded approx 7 5/8" from the frame end. What bellhousing are you using and did you buy a new adjuster rod? Sounds like you have the wrong rod.

Is it possible that you've got the wrong fork? I've only worked with small block 4 speed setups, but I have a box full of spare parts and there's at least two different lengths of forks in there.

Publicbottle - I should have posted how I fixed it. Can't believe it's been a year and a half. A couple of days after my last post (July 2010) I went to the Carlisle Chrysler show/swap meet and walked up to the Brewer's Performance booth. I showed Dan Brewer the adjustment rod I was using and started to explain the problem, but he saw right away that I had the wrong rod. He put the correct rod on the counter and it had an angle (about 15-20 degrees) right after the end that connects to the Z-bar. Problem solved. I don't think that will help you though - it looks to me from your pictures that the angle you are dealing with is more like 30 degrees. Wish I had some suggestions for you, but maybe Evil Monkey has the solution with the length of the fork. Also, maybe Dan will see this post, or you could give them a call. http://www.brewersperformance.com/ Thanks again, Dan! P.S. - Publicbottle - I like that avatar. I'm a T. Rex fan from way back.
