Also, I am working on a tranny
setup for my car, and am building an Abody 833. I have a comp Plus shifter from Hurst and I just got some hollow straight Hurst race rods, which I am going to use. I have a McLeod Borg/Beck Style 10.95" scalloped pressure plate, street disc, and T/O bearing. I am running the Lakewood scattershield, and so need to get a linkage setup for the petal. I am putting in a new Overcenter Spring, (my old one broke) but am wondering if the stock clutch setup (using the /6 9.5" clutch, or the 318and larger 10.5" clutch or even the 9.5" commando) has enough force (distance) in ti to disenage the new clutch completely. I want to know if the stock clutch provides enough distance to depress the plate or if I need to cut and make the arm on the Z bar longer.....know what I mean? Thanks. I am also wondering if anyone has heard of drilling holes in the little metal tabs on the sidecover for the shifter half way in between the stock holes and the rotational axis so that you can decrease the overall distance you have to throw the shift lever back and forth to engage and disengage gears. This is a hole on the ear on the side cover where you put the shift rod to increase throw ratio. Thanks. Joseph Tonna |

yes you can do this . i did it on my 1971 dart. that is drill an hole in your shifter on the side of your trans.i have an b&m shifter and the new cable i had to drill a new hole to get the right gear i was looking for. but that metal that it is made out of is some very hard stuff. get a very shrap drill bit.
