Z-bar not aligned properly

Given its been converted then do through everything and be sure its correct. As I stated, the Bell side ball pivot changed. Throw out arms come in different lengths as do the height of the pivot so you could have a complete mismatch of parts.

And as stated there will be some out of alignment look do to many factors, just be sure it greased well when its all sorted.

Where was the cut on the fender side pivot ball when it was installed?
...as far as mismatched parts...The bell side pivot ball is the one that was on the car when I got it, and it matches the one that Oldmanmopar identified above as the correct '68 part. The Z-bar itself is new, purchased from Laysons, and it matches exactly the old part (minus the wear:lol:). The keeper spring, seals, plastic bushing/bearings came in a kit from Year One in Mopar bags and they all fit perfectly. The fender side ball stud matches the size of the old one.

I will have to accept the little bit of misalignment for a while since it'll be some time before the whole thing is operational so that it can be actually tested.
