Clearance is good now after shortening upper zbar arm by 1/4". Linkage all hooked up and clutch disengages properly.
2 questions :
- clutch pedal sits1" lower than brake pedal at top of swing, up against rubber stop. If I remove rubber stop, they are even but pedal hits metal brace loudly. How should it be ?
- clutch pedal does not return to up position. Everything moving freely, greased. Linkage uses only 1 "clutch return spring" from hole in fork to frame bracket attached at brake line clamp as seen in many diagrams. Spring is not strong enough. My '67 service manual shows 2 springs. First is "anti-rattle spring" that holds pushrod into fork (hooked up just like my spring now) and second spring is "clutch pedal return spring" running from hole in upper zbar hole to .... somewhere unknown. I've looked for hole on body/frame connector as described in Camaro forums and that configuration is not there on 67 Firebird. Thoughts ? Right now I have heavier spring ordered. Next thought is second spring from lower zbar arm running forward to starter bracket or to hose clamp on my Ram Air exhaust ? Not sure what to do to get proper return on pedal. Service manual has 2 springs but I see nothing in forum describing this. Thanks.
