    mine has the fox bellhousing.at first i used the z-bar with the aluminum block and the fitting for the side of the motor.you had to be like ARNOLD to push the clutch in,switched to modern driveline's kit and the clutch is 100% better(read...mere mortals can now hold the clutch in at redlights)...lol

    Power steering cylinder attachment threads?

    que,thats what the "crush" nuts did on my car.they were in there but not right.eventually had the bracket welded on.my guess is that the crushnuts aren't from the original manufacturer or the frame just deteriorates over the years to a point that the nut can't bite into it.

    Power steering cylinder attachment threads?

    i added power steering to my car and the inserts i got didn't "crush" properly.they are aluminum i believe and are supposed to wedge themselves into the opening kind of like a rivet does.either the frame of my car was weak after 30 years or maybe the crush nuts aren't made properly but they...

    Tri-Y Headers and T-5 Cable setup

    loup cable length isn't really the problem.the cable from my kit might be from a fox body (plastic quadrant) retrofit. the problem comes from where the cable has to go thru the bell housing. 347 jba makes great shorties!...think they are about 5oo though you may be able to modify your...

    i had tri-y's before i went with the cable set up.if the cable was run as straight as possible to the bell housing ,it would have had to pass thru about half of one of the header tubes.in other words if i had smashed the tube half way in the cable would have cleared.i don't know the brand...
