clutch pedal interchangeability

I don't remember where I found this info, but even A's IN THE SAME YEARS had different clutch linkage. Evidently the /6 and some V8's (318 vs 340??) were different linkage, IE "they ain't all the same."

Might 've been in one of the MP chassis manual?

>>>EDIT<<< Found it. Out of one of the older MP Chassis Manuals

"The clutch linkage on the 1970 A-Body (Duster, Dart) can be changed to aid the high speed shifting of these cars with 340 engines and manual transmissions. This can be done by lengthening the lower arm on the clutch pedal bellcrank 3/4" which will increase the clutch pedal effort slightly but will provide for more plate departure which makes for a better power shift....." ......etc etc...."too much.......hits the fingers....etc."

"A similar problem (not enough plate departure) ..............will exist if 6 cylinder Dart/ Duster clutch linkage is used. When converting a 6 cylinder ...to a V8, the .....linkage from a 71--73 340 or 1974 360 should be used."


ALSO MENTIONED LATER is to be careful of bell housing pivots ---different year cars and different MODEL cars had the bell pivot (and scattershield) in different places which can screw up clutch linkage geometry.
