Technical manual clutch linkage ideas

where can i find some good pictures of manual clutch linkage set ups.. im stumped on trying to figure something out on my hiboy.. any help will be appreciated

 

What engine/trans combination do you have? In what ch***is?

 

here's a pic.. right now, i have a hydraulic throwout bearing installed.. it is about 1" deeper than a manual throwout bearing.. i had to use a 1/4" spacer between the engine and bellhousing (dont like it) but still dont have enouth pedal to disengage the clutch.. im taking it out and puting a bearing and fork in it.. but stumped on linkage.. im also thing of using a slave cylinder, either push or pull... my clutch master cylinder is wilwood 3/4" bore.. engine is 350 chevy, trans is saginaw 4 speed

 

I use The Willwood master with the 62 chevy pickup slave. both bores are equal, think they're 3/4. you just have to fabricate a bracket for the slave which is a pretty basic design. It points toward the rear of the car and pushes the fork

 

i'll look into that slave cylinder

 

rock auto shows the bore size for 62 chevy pickup slave to be 1"

 

Fastlane Rod Shop in Iowa dave Lane has some pictures one of a 34 and another of a 32 3 window. http://www.fastlanerodshop.com/George34ford.htm

 

Well if memory serves me. My Willwood is 1 inch too...But lately my memory seems to be on strike.

 

Here is a manual clutch set that I cobbled together for my 38 Chevy, nothing fancy, just functional.

 

is your pedal soft or hard with both bores being equal?

 

It's pretty soft. even in traffic it's no problem. Vtx 1800 is another good route. if you look at any mid sixties or early seventies chevy pick up they use a similar manual bar mounted to the frame and on the side of the block where that pivot ball is bolted. i've seen many of these at any pick n pull with a good selection of trucks and you can get all the three parts(frame bracket,cross bar,and the pivot ball needed for cheap. they're not as sanitary as the hydraulic but they work better. GM must have figured that out cause they stopped using hydraulic clutch systems after two years i think

 

Vern tardel makes a copy of the old ansen one that is ***s in an old hot rod if you don't mind It being on the firewall(I'm gunna chrome my master/slave cylinder

 

I pretty much copied my 1969 dodges and used the Z bar cut down to fit on 32 style frame made every thing to fit running big block mopar with 4 speed

 

I used this one. It comes in sizes to match your master complete with mounting bracket.
