Clutch linkage question.
I am replacing a turbo 400 with a TKX in my 70 GTO and am using an original clutch linkage kit from Ames. Not exactly sure where the return spring from the clutch countershaft attaches to the body. Thanks.

Did a similar swap on my 72 last spring. Thought I had a picture, cannot find it. Some cars have a bracket, if they don't there is a pocket the spring slips into. This is the wrong year but looks similar to my memory

OK, thanks for the picture, I will drill a hole in that location.

Ok. So I crawled under the car and I cant see where the heck I had it but I know I didn't have to drill anything. I'm giving you bad information with those pics I think. |

I think this is the post that ultimately helped me last year. It's from a different forum. I remember hooking my spring to the frame.
"From all accounts I have read, the diagram shows the frame bracket for the spring, but the cars never came with them. Of course, never say never as some may have had them and it may have been one factory that used them and another that did not. The spring was hooked to one of the frame holes. My '68 Lemans with 350/3-speed manual did not have the bracket - spring was hooked to a hole on the frame. Figure the diagram was made before the actual installation at the factory. Think of the savings in the steel, the manufacture of the bracket, and installation of the bracket - when all you had to do was hook it into a frame hole and get the same results. Saves a lot of money from a manufacturing stand point" |

Hole in the frame on a '67.
