Is there a difference between an clutch equalizer bar on a 170 and 302? When I did the v8 swap in 1997 (laugh it up… I’m old) I had to modify it to work… and it did until tonight.

I want to say they are different. But would involve looking through the venders websites for that linkage and see if it states a difference between the two.

What failed that a welder can't fix?

They are different.
I have a stone stock 67 u13 sitting next to my 70 u15. The tube is longer, and the ratio/lever arm is longer. The frame pivot and pedal side lever is about the same. It is easier to photograph the I6. Pics below.

Thank you!!! I didn’t see but one option on WH which is what me ask the question. I think I will order a new one as they are different. Probably way better than my 50 year old modified one!

I'll bet there are a lot of 6 cylinder to V8 conversions running around out there with the 6 cylinder equalizer and wondering why the pedal is so light and the throw is so short.
