Clutch assembly pics request

Aceshigh · July 7th, 2009, 03:13 AM

Can anyone take a few pics of their clutch pedal assembly under the dash
and inside the engine bay for me ?? PLEEEEEASE ??

I'm trying to get a grasp on converting my 1970 Olds 442 to a manual from auto.
My car is a clone (wannabe) and I'm looking to put a 6 speed in there
but with a mechanical clutch and I need pics so I can see how all this operates.
There's no other owners near me that have this, so I'm hoping someone can oblige.
Thanks.

The Parts Place has this kit, but I have to see if it's EVERYTHING or what
else I need to get. I heard a spring, and a ball stud, etc.

This Ebay Auction has the Pedals , Zbar, etc

The biggest problem with converting to manual is the fact that the crank does not have a hole for the pilot bearing that the nose of the manual trans fits into!!!

I can't do pictures off my camera yet, but we are working on this problem at warp speed

Doesn't this pilot bearing resolve that issue ?? Or not ??

I see the ad, but where do you put the nose of the tranny without spacing it back or something???

Check it out a little deeper..see what the bearing is supposed to do...

You still have to cut the input shaft of the tranny. About 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. This will give you the clearence that you need. I have done this on my 69 cutlass. Works great.
