i think it may be just the bracket that the little white ball joins into, you know what i mean? i dunno, if i have to get a whole nother place but the one that i have does not match up, the truck that i got the 352 from was a 4 wheel drive and mine is 2 wheel drive, is that why it wont line up or what? but the bracket wont line up with the linkage, so i dunno, i dont know if there is a chapter up here in maine or not but i will definalty look into it, thanks for your help

sounds like you need the pivot that goes on the motor. bolts on the block across from the pivot on the frame. if there was one on the motor it should work. did you get the equilizer bar for the 352? the one from the 6 wont work.

shouldnt be too hard, i think 2 wheel drive is the same as 4x4, as long as it is for the f e engine. probably anything from 65-75 will work.

From what I have read, you will need everything from equalizer shaft back....including the engine brkt....If you have an extra 65-6 V8 adj rod I sure could use it as some moron cut the one on my 66 and now clutch cant be adjusted right.....Let me know....
