some time back someone posted photos showing the minor differences between 65-67 and 68-70 clutch pedal assmeblies (at least I think that's how the years were split up). Anyone remember the string that was on? Or have the photo's?
clint, '65-'68 pedals are the same, '69-'70 pedals are very similar.... the clutch pedal stop bracket faces inward on the '65-'68 pedal, outward on the later pedal. below is a '69-'70.....
wonder if the Borg Super T10 will work in he 68 Pariesienne? we are gonna try to see if the shift fork works first....not even sure if the bellhousing will work either. came out of 81 malibu with 327 and going in 68 Poncho with 396....guess ill see tomorrow
it all works and fits but the bigger camaro bell to about 81 hold a bigger clutch remember youre trying to move 4000 plus punds of the line the smaller cutch dosent live to long
ill print all this off and give it to him this morning. I just wish I could find all the parts we need 1st. I called that guy in Minnisota that Carl referred us to. He said he would look in his wrecking yard but he hasnt called us back yet.
Grocery list we need is: Bellhousing,Shifter fork, Pedals.....are we missing anything?
we have Borg Super T 10, with Bellhousing and shifter fork and 4 speed shifter and clutch. Drive shaft and tail stock isnt an issue as we have several and can make something locally if needed.
watch out some warner run the bigger th400 yokes unless it was high horse big inch b body to biggin with, clutch cross shaft can be a wreking yard or gotten new the frame braket can be fabricated. the fork and levers can be gotten new or parts car
just about done this project....gotta install starter, carpet(and trim),seats,battery and few odds and ends and it will be ready to get off stands and test driven. thanks to all whom helped. that link with photos helped greatly. FYI a Super T10 bolting up using the shifter fork rod will have to be McGivered as the orig is about 2-3 inches to short. We made an adjustable one which worked much better. thanks again....cant wait to drive it.
today got everything buttoned up, fired the car....oil filter leaking....GRRR, I just replaced it because the other one leaked aswell ! WTF???? 396 takes a PH30. Fram..seen odd filter leak but not 2 in a row...(scratch head).....also since there is 5 cars int he driveway and the owner wasnt home. I was only able to move the car back and forth 5 feet.....so clutch will have to be adjusted. We have an owners manual for a 69 Poncho but adjustment and diagrams are VAGUE.....I think a road test is needed to see how far its out. Aside from oil filter leaking and clutch adjustment, its done. i ran out of time so wasnt able to do anymore. Had to get JR from school. Ill try to snap some picolas for ya! again thanks for help.....any tips on adjustment on pedal is appreciated
BINGO....i knew something was wrong....went to Part Source....NO HELP at all....CDN Tire was no better....Off to Speed Shop to find correct filter and talk to someone who knows where an oil filter is located...Good Grief. LOL So no road test was done. I think my friend is gonna adjust it himself tomorrow.... Iam eager to go for a rip in it....I snapped a few pics but they turned out lousy because car was stuffed in garage and it was darl outside already...so sorry for crapola pics
Now he wants me to convert his 70 GSX 455 Ragtop to a 6 speed ! That will be alot easier for me as their are kits for those cars....parts much easier to find...He already has his 46 Ford Coupe with a 500 cu in Caddy motor and a 5 speed. So only 1 car left to swap to stick!

Its a clone...obviouslly. 455 rag...orange, black stripe,black interior and roof. buckets, console. Nice straight car with torque thrusts....will be more fun with 6 speed. ran 13.50 with street tires through exhaust. fairly quick for rag.
