Does anyone know where I can but a upper z-bar bushing for my 1966 442?

 

The Parts Place has them

 

TPP actually sells the other type z bar from 66 that uses a small hole with no bushing. I used an early 60s Vette z bar bushing. You may need to shave it a bit so you can expose enough of the key hole to allow the retaining pin the go through. If you run into problems pm me.

 

I have purchased all 3 types, the style with a rubber grommet, and the 72 up style that is a bit smaller bronze bushing, and the larger one found on my 67 bronze also.

 

Looked at TPP and don't see any . Do you have a part number? Thanks for any help.

 

The bushing that you are looking for fits 66-69 cutlass/442. The parts place does have them. In 1970 Oldsmobile went to nylon bushing. That bushing fits 70 to 72. Hope this helps.

 

There were two types of factory Z bars for 66--straight arm and curved arms. The curved arm type has a large hole on the top side arm. My understanding is that TPP carries the bushing, Z bar, and push rod for the straight arm type but not for the curved arm type. Am I mistaken?
