Working on 67 , Converting from power glide to 4 speed. I bought the clutch likage kit from local supplier (it was packed by classic industries).
The way the holes line up on bracket to frame it looks like it will be hitting steering box.
Are maybe the holes not for this in the frame ? They look like they line up or do I have to drill new ones once engine is in to transfer location?
I dont have engine in yet (i am getting ready to within next week) so I dont know where the z-bar would sit in relation to engine .

You have it on the wrong way you need to flip it and use self tapping screws with a couple drop's of loc tite to hold it on.That's the way I had to do mine due to the holes in the frame not being threaded.

i ended up using spherical rod end clutch linkage.

i didnt order from here but its the same kit. pretty cheap if you ask me! it bolts in to place so you dont have to use pins.
