INFO: Manual Transmission Pedal from MDL

The peddle that he designed is like how I originally started. Not a bad idea but it was the same thing for me, the headers. So everything started to get expensive. Not a fan of the snowball. Wss looking at hydraulic and decided the cable was the cheapest best way to go. Worked out great. 2000 mustang donor, paddle to throwout bering. I'm working on pictures (whole different story)

I went hydraulic because there just isn't much room to work with around the brake booster.

Photobucket is nothing but problems, it ruined a lot of threads on here.  Your best bet is to upload the photos to your file manager on this site.  That way they are always available.  There is a how to thread and Californiajohnny even made a video if you need some help with the upload process.

Wow...thanks bud!   You're not late.   Its in 7 days  .   I hope to update some threads here soon.   My car is getting painted now.   I can't wait!

my understanding is 72-73 Torino 4 speed then they changed the firewall after that and stop the manual after 75-76? In the Torino 

i saw modern driveline had a clutch pedal for the 1972 and up torino but i read it as a oem pedal so I ignored it since there is probably never a need to replace the pedal. A conversion pedal for a automatic hanger is a needed part ranking right up there with 429 motor mounts for 1972 and up torino montego cougar etc.[actually pausing speechless right now about those engine mounts]I will with my spare original parts see if I can use this as a conversion pedal to a auto hanger. MD-402-7276 T-C $195 Also the frame side pivot bracket is unique to 1972 and up torino if  going with linkage vs hydraulic or cable. Thank You

I talked to modern drive line and they are developing a kit for 72-76. Right now it sounded like(im not going to guarantee it yet) that pedal part# MD-402-7276-T-C along with roller bearing kit MD-411-1081 can convert a automatic transmission pedal hanger to a manual transmission hanger with pedal pivots not inline. So from what I know from memory in a 72-76 small block toploader application you would still need -

So from what I know from memory in a 72-76 small block toploader application you would still need - 1. pedal to z bar rod,  2.measurement for firewall hole,  3.zbar  also called bellcrank (easy to make),  4.frame pivot (can be made in 2 diameter choices 70 mustang small or     71-3 mustang larger like the oem 72 up Torino),  5.bellhousing side  pivot  available 2 diameter choices again 70 small or   71-3 mustang large,  6.clutch adjustment linkage(available goes between zbar and clutch fork   there is a few  similar choices for mustang), 7.clutch fork (available common to 70-73 351 mustang and 351m400 trucks)  8.your choice 157 tooth flywheel and bellhousing with block shield   common to 302 or 164 tooth flywheel and bellhousing with block shield   common to 351c.  By using a diaphragm pressure plate only any kind of pedal return spring is needed in a location of you choice. I recommend a spring also from fork to zbar even if you need to drill holes to attach spring. Some forks have a spring provision.  Hydraulic clutch kit also72-76 MD-910-0072 The frame should have 2 hex shaped holes for frame side pivot and hex shaped rivet nuts are available for mounting frame side pivot.
