Z-Bar alignment issues
Well i can't properly help with that, mine is a Right hand drive car so the clutch is on the opposite side to the starter.....
is it adjusted properly and do you have the spring in place
spring runs from fork to a cast in bellhousing boss, like a small thumb. there is also a little cut out in the fork to catch the spring.
The spring pulls the fork forward and helps keep the peddle up
all i can think of
6-27-5 in the parts diag.
few different springs as well... dunno if same action different style, or model specific for different sized bell housing and fork, having a RHD australian car i have to buy my USA sourced stuff, based on pictures and guesswork, rather than model.
presume this is the top arm . although its nearly always the wrong thing to do... there is more scope for a bit of a bend in the top arm to help centralise the pushrod to the peddle. so it runs through the centre of the hole in the bulkhead. might keep it off the side of the starter
or you have a custom starter..?
rock the engine over to the right a bit more and that will level up the z bar and move the upper arm a fraction of an inch away....
maybe?
