Someone just might have my answer! Hi... my name is "Vamdab" and I have a 1972 Ford Maverick Grabber, With a Nasty 302, and a T10 Side loader (Built nice) W/a Hurst in-line 4 speed shifter. The Bell is actualy the Original one that came in the car. My Problem is, Nobody makes headers for a manual trans. So I still run manifolds and don't get everything that my motor has to offer. I need a Clutch set up to turn the manual "Z" bar setup into a hydraulic system so that I can run headers. Even if I could use headers with the Original, I would still like to get rid of it! It jumps out alot, Leaving me with no clutch. Thanks for your time! I hope Someone can give some good news. Hershey, Pa.
I used Hooker 6901's. I am running a 302 with a toploader and manual z-bar. They fit great, no mods. JP
Hmmm, Vamdab. BadMav backwards. Several companies make headers for manual trans Mavs with the mechanical linkage. The clearance problems occur when you try to use a column shifter. Doesn't sound like you have that situation. I never had a problem with anything "jumping out". Something must not be installed correctly.
I ran Blackjack Headers with a manual transmission and the stock clutch pedal linkage. I know that others are running Hooker 6901's with the stock clutch pedal linkage. I am not saying it is easy but it can be done. There are retro kits for Mustangs. http://www.mustangsplus.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=MPFMP&Category_Code=mcleod_hyd_clutch
Hooker 6901's work fine with the factory z-bar setup .. lots of us here on the board use them ... including me ...
