Update on My 64 Dart project

Well, we got it done as of 5pm last night. Worked all day Sunday on it. I ordered another Brewers conversion bracket. Anyway, got everything in and again the bracket holes are off causing the Z bar to be off and not level between the two mounting points. The bracket is designed to be used with two difefrent later model bell housing. The holes on the bracket are marked with the the last theree digits of the part number. the holes are suppose to be drilled accordingly. Whoever engineered that piece needs to go back to school, not even close. What we ended up doing is making a template and redrilling the mounting holes. We also reversed the bar which located the lower arm further away from the bracket giving us more room to get the bracket bolts in. The lower arm is now off center of the clutch fork mounting point which will now work with the appropriate clutch rod.

Now all that is left is to fab up a clutch peddle stop so that when the clutch pedlle is depressed the fingers stop short of the clutch disk.



To anyone planning a 4 speed conversion on an early A body using a later bell housing, plan on doing a little FAb work when using the Brewers conversion parts.



Here' some pictures of the final product. Everything is mocked up one final time so I can get the clutch stop figured out.
