66 clutch linkage problems

[gearhead78]

This is for my Cutlass but I think its the same for BOP cars
I think I have some mis matched parts. What do I need to get it all working.

Here is what I have

The z-bar came used was advertised as for 64-66 Abody. It has a big hole at the pedal end. Measurements are aprox 7 3/4" wide, 6" center to center on the top bracket and 4" on the bottom. I got a bushing for the large hole. The pedal linkage from Parts Place says its for 64-66 BOP abody cars but the shaft on both ends is way too short to reach through the bushing that needs to get pressed in my Z-bar.

Also there is no hole for the grease fitting that came with the rebuild kit for the z-bar and I have no idea what to do with the round felt pieces.

The other thing I need to know is where the two springs hook to?


This piece is advertised as 1966 Cutlass only and looks nothing like mine. It does look like the one end is long enough to reach through my wide bushing.

65-66 buick clutch linkage is one of a kind, if it is for the 401 in the skylark/gs model.

You can forget all the linkage & assorted hassles by going "Hydraulic". It's not as difficult as you may think or be lead to believe.

I did the swap on my 66 Special. I had good luck using repo Pontiac parts for the small items. I'd bet your Olds has more in common with BOP than it does with Chev.
The rod looks like a GTO piece. The Chevelle and Skylark use a rod that is relatively straight.

Have you tried Fusick Olds?

For Pontiac stuff, you can download catalogs from Ames Performance:

or Permormance Years:

Both catalogs have exploded-view diagrams.
