Z Bar Ballstud Bellhousing Bracket Seems Wrong.

Hi yall,

I ve run into a little trouble along the way with my 4 speed swap and I'm quite sure it has to do with the mismatch of parts I'm using.

I'm working on a 70 Dart with a slant six. The engine and transmission came out of a 74 I believe, but I'm unsure. It's a 225 833od combo. I have the correct z bar but everything else is from a 71 Duster 340. It appears that the ball stud bracket for the z bar that bolts to the bellhousing is not right. I cant quite figure out how it's supposed to bolt to the bellhousing because it's not quite the right shape. The part that has the plastic bushing is bent back towards the bellhousing but the mounting pad on the bellhousing is flat. Also the engine to bellhousing brace has a small tab that interferes with the ballstud. It can be seenninnthe first pic at the end of the z bar. It has a small hole in it.



Is there a piece missing here like a spacer plate? Or do I have the wrong bracket? I'm tempted to cut the two offenders off but I'm hesitant to cut up original stuff. I'm a little confused by the plastic bushing, is there something that goes in there that rotates?

Thanks in advance and happy motoring!
