Need some advice please! The Z bar in my '66 Dart went bad. I ordered a new one for 64-66 A Body SB 4-spd, but it is not the same as the one I have and won't work.
My Z bar as pictured is 7" in length. Came out of a '65 Dart GT, which was the donor car for my entire A833 4-speed setup. I have a '76 318 engine. Should all be the same, right?
The one I ordered measured 7.5" in length, and there is no way it will work. Simply too long. I called Classic Industries, and they confirmed that is the one listed for early SB A body 4spd.
Any ideas?
The other dilemna I have is my "original" z bar that came from the '65 has weld spots in the center that look suspiciously like a modification...not sure. Only sure that the 7.5" is too long.
