I'm in need of pedals, Z-bar, and other parts for a '77 Cutlass conversion to a manual. I know I can get 'em from "the parts place inc" but have heard a few stories about 'em and would like to leave them as a last resort. I'm putting a TKO behind a streetable 350. Using the pilot bushing from Dick Miller. But first step is the pedals and clutch release system...

 

If you haven't found them in a couple weeks send me a PM. I used to have a set of these and believe they're still somewhere in the garage, shop or shed. But right now work is too busy so I don't have the time to look. Maybe in a couple weeks I will.

Have you checked out the 73-77 Olds forum yet?

WTF, I thought G3GM.com was the only one that existed....hm...awesome. I'll look around or holler at ya in a few weeks.
thanks,
Dan

 

Well...it's kind of like a ghost town in there. I looked in the classifieds and the last one that had "manual pedals" was last posted in 2008...soooo...

 

A fellow olds man on this site showed this to me, so I will pass it on to you.

Good luck!

 

Holy hell...well...if I were doing a 4sp, I'd humor it, but I'm putting a Tremec trans into it, and to behonest, well...hell I don't know how much those transmissions are. But I get the pedals, a billet flywheel, new clutch, and bellhousing, I'm right at $1000 er so..only if it weren't in California...

 

Contact the guy, maybe he will split it up. See if he will sell without the trans.
What is your location?

Crap, thought it showed up on the left side, Rockford, IL, 'bout 90mi NW of Chicago

 

i have a Z bar that i think is from a 73-77. it looks correct for that year. i could post a picture for you guys to see what you think? $50 shipped

 

I've got this set. Upper rod has wear on both upper and lower pivot points and will need some weld repair. Some lesser wear in the clutch pedal pivot hole. Firewall boot has a few tears. Lower rod that goes to the clutch fork is a non-stock piece of threaded rod (I have the correct lower rod around here somewhere I'll substitute) and the plastic clutch safety switch is broken. If memory serves me right, this came from a power brake car (brake pedal has pivot pin in it in a different location depending if power brake or not). $250 plus the shipping.

 

For $289 plus IL sales tax I can get everything new...including the stud for the motor. Dekalb is 20 miles south of me. Anybody know the difference between the 8 3/4 and 10 inch Z bar??

[QUOTE=brownbomber77;429953] Anybody know the difference between the 8 3/4 and 10 inch Z bar??

Possibly big block vs small block. Not sure.

 

Those repop parts suck!! Get original stuff.

 

Has anyone used the remanufactured stuff??

 

If so, what sucked about them?

 

 

where are these kits avialable? thx
