    CLUTCH FORK

    would a 63 to 65 work in a 67? Thanks

    Roy,

    The 63 is unique to 63 but the 64-65 would function in a 67, with some slight adjustment. The original 64-65 is to be used with all 64-65 components, some of which are no longer available. If you do wind up using the 64-65, the adjustment may wind up at or near the end of the threaded rod, but it will work. Ultimately, a 67 fork should be used in conjunction with the 67 upper rod, part number 3888213, I believe. Still available.

      I had the opposite problem. My '63 had a clutch set up from the '64+. As you know the '63 clutch fork is different and unique as stated, which means the lower rod/springs are different as well. What is a little harder to spot is the fact that the upper clutch rod on the '63 is about 1" shorter than the later years... What all this means is that you need to have the fork, lower and upper rods from the same set up. The bellcrank I believe is the same 63 to 64+ (not sure about '67).

      I would check the Corvette Paragon catalog. If you do not have it you can download it from their website. Check the part numbers as shown by year to get the complete picture... I wound up getting the entire clutch linkage from them and it was just fine.

        Joel,

        I think Roy will be ok with the setup he has as the upper rod length was increased about an inch, or more, starting with early production 66's. He mentioned that he was installing this release lever in a 67 so it should work.

        Very confusing array of misc parts and part numbers for the C2 clutch linkage that's been causing problems for decades.
