Where did you get your pedals/linkage? I want to put a 5 or 6 speed in my 4th gen, but finding a pedal/linkage setup seems nearly impossible.

8) They are out there, but few and far between mostly incomplete. It took me the better part of a year to find one that I didn't get out bid on! If you can find the pedals, I believe the z-bar, adjustment rod and upper clutch rod(pedal to z-bar) are available through www.theelcaminostore.com. Just watch ebay and post in the ECC wanted forum. Might check the Team Chevelle sight also. The other option would be an aftermarket hydraulic clutch setup. :cool:

Hey, thanks for the find. I'll keep an eye on those. I have a feeling they're going to go pretty high, but I guess that's what I'll have to live with if I want a manual tranny, huh?

So, what tranny did you go with? I've been thinking T56, and trying to adapt the hydraulic clutch to the Camino pedal... I've also got a TPI I hope to add at the same time...

8) I just installed a super t-10 in my '77 Elky. I got a good buy on a package rebuilt super t-10, bellhousing, 11" flywheel and new clutch all for 600.00, it included the pedals and all the clutch linkage for a '68 Firebird which I sold for 150.00! :cool:

Looks like you have an idea where you are going with yours, alot of good ideas! Keep us posted with your project! :cool:
