Has anyone encountered the Z bar on a 1970 442 rubbing on the header tube?
It's at the end of the arm where the push rod mounts. I was thinking about cutting the arm off and remounting it over towards the block about a 1/2". I don't want to create another problem though. Any ideas/fixes welcomed.

Also would like to purchase and install the backup linkage. Anyone know if this will work with headers?

I'm about ready to put stock manifolds on and eliminate a bunch of headaches.

Thanks
Rick

 

When I had my M20 we cut the ZBar turned it around 180 degrees and welded it back up. Worked like a charm. I guess what I'm saying is it can be done. Just think fabrication. Or, put the manifolds back on. What will you lose in power? 30 hp?

 

Did you have the backup / column lock linkage hooked up on your car? I don't have the linkage yet but I'm wondering if the headers will be in the way.
