Now comes the fun part that I realized last minute. A note for all you guys wanting to run a Big block utilizing "Z-bar" stock linkage.
The ball stud is the correct one for a V8 1966 C10
The Z bar is from the original 292 I6 with 4 speed
I purchased adjustable rod linkage for better performance I hope.
I ended up moving the Z-bar frame mount from it's stock location, so make sure you do that while you're doing your frame off..
ok maybe not a frame off? Well still remove and retain it.
I shimmed the Z-bar mount UP 1 1/4"
I noticed this right as we were about to tack weld it on to the frame. the tube part of it was very low and seemed to bind a little . I raised it by accident while checking the fit and ensuring I could still remove it while it was tacked in the position I selected. So now it moves very freely and should work great. Of course, more pics.
