A-body TTI headers & Z-bar

I'm looking to install some TTI headers on my 70 Duster and want to use the mechanical clutch linkage for the 4-speed. TTI says modifications may be required to the factory z-bar. Has anyone run into this? Any Z-bars that are off the shelf that fit better than others (Brewer's, etc).

Any pictures? What if any issues have you run into?

Thanks for the help!

I went through this last summer. I put TTIs on my 70 340 Dart and I had a problem with the z-bar hitting one of the header tubes. I had to take it off and have it modified for clearance.

when you say modified, are you saying just grind a little off OR is it more like cut the lug off and re-weld it in a different spot?

TTI sells the z-bar your looking for its about $100, or you can modify your z-bar.

I thought that Z-bar was for big block only applications based on the ball stud mount they call out (they use the brewer's number for big blocks)

I cut the downleg off and move it.

That one that tti sells looks like an abomination if used on a SB car. You don't have to move it much. Good luck putting a S bend in it like tti suggested after they said they never heard of such a problem.

total [Email]cr@p[/Email] for as much as they cost.
