Re: this been a prob for others??

Yes, in general if you have straight rod from the clutch pedal to a straight bar on the top of the z-bar between frame and engine, you may need to bend both to get to fit.

Best plan is an offset pedal rod , common on 68 and newer with a matching offset built ito the top bar on the z-bar. You may need to change the mount on the frame also as that setup is about 3/4 wider than the non-offset type.

Pretty much talkng about an original V8 2wd installed in the "correct" forward position. If you are/have replaced 6 banger with a V8 and left it in the rear position or it is a 4x4 then there are different combinations that will work too. Main thing is the offset rod and bar used in the factory setups, I think they went to that offset when the big blocks were made avaiable in 68.
