I'm running Hooker Super comps(6901-I believe) on my 70 Mav. I also have a late model sportsman block with no boss for the clutch pivot. I acquired a bracket that bolts on with the bell housing bolts. Of course it interferes with the Hooker headers enough that the headers would need surgery. I would rather not do that although that may end up being the cheapest way out. I'm investigating a hydraulic set up, but they seem to be a little pricey. Like $560 and more. Right now I'm using a Lakewood scattershield and a small input toploader. Are any of you out there using a hydraulic unit or is there a cheaper way to depress that 3 finger pressure plate? How reliable is cable linkage and is it strong enough to depress a b&b/long pressure plate?
I would think the bracket would occupy the same space as the original boss .. shouldn't hit the headers ... I'm pretty sure just about everyone on the board here using stock mechanical linkage - inlcuding myself - find that the Competition 6901's are really the only ones the work with no issues. perhaps the Super Comp's are different. Edit: Just checked ... Competition headers work with standard Tranny Floor shift. Super Competition Headers do not work with Standard Tranny Floor shift ... http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/ES/ESHHCH/Comp.html http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/ES/ESHHSCH/Car.html Cheapest and easiest is to swap headers ....
You can not use a clutch cable on a toploader set up. The cable pulls to release the clutch. You need linkage that pushes. I seriously doubt you will find a clutch cable long enough to loop around and come up from the rear.
This is a cable setup used on a toploader application.This particular unit is off a Fox Body Mustang with a 4 cylinder.They are fairly simple to modify to fit a early trans.The key is the pivot which pulls back on the clutch fork.Just thought I would throw this out there for someone to ponder.
