    I have successfully converted my maverick from a 3-speed auto to a 5-speed manual. Are there any suggestions of headers that would work well in combination to this set up? thank you

    I am using Headman 88300, but I have also converted to a cable clutch. I know Robert Bailey had to use Hooker 6901's with his Z-bar, I think he had to modify the Z-bar alittle. Maybe he will chime in and give more info.
