Equalizer Bar Question.

My old '67 with a 289 had some of these problems. I followed the Ford diagrams to make sure I had all components???

My '66 is about to be converted from a c4 to a toploader with stock linkage. To alleviate any of the previous problems, I've added the roller bearing kit to the clutch pedal supports; welded up any of the contact points throughout the linkage that showed signs of ware; and added new bushings and springs throughout. Hopefully this does the trick.

If you don't mind loosing the old mechanical linkage - go with a hydraulic or cable clutch kit.

I had similar problems... I ended up cutting the helper spring under the dash that is supposed to aid with pedal effort. The pedal is stiffer, but it moves up and down easily, and springs back up when I want it to. May not be your problem, but might be worth looking into.


btw... its a BIG %@%$$@#!!@ spring.

Check the clutch pedal pivot bushings

Check the clutch pedal pivot bushings under the dash. On a lot of cars the clutch pedal pivot pin has eaten into its bushings allowing the clutch pedal to move around when you depress the clutch. This will cause inconsistent "feel" and can also lead to the binding you describe.
