Slant 6 Pedals/ clutch linkage swap

Because lengthening the downrod does ZERO for the pedal ratio. All that would do is reclock the Z-bar and cause you to have to shorten the adjuster link, and you would even lose ratio with that idea.

TO bearing is same for all SBMs
Before you start on pulling that pedal out, make sure your fork is not hitting the bellhouse window at full pedal.
