Me to Darrell. But if no go I'll try to re-invent the bellcrank. Someone told me ages ago they cut and flipped the BC and made it work.
I figure if there is room for the column shifted auto linkage there is hope.

Well it turns out the backdrive fits without any problems with the Hooker 2205-1 set.
But had interference where I didn't expect it.
The clutch adjustment rod hits the tube and the clutch release bellcrank will have to be modified.
And on the pass side #4 tube is touching the top pivot of the idler arm and will have to be dimpled.
Also the pass header had to be bolted up and the collector bent upward and to the center line of the car. It wouldn't line up with the hump in the cross member and was pointing downward.

That's the problem with a lot of current production headers, they do not fit. I would be very disappointed if I had to do all those modifications to get a set of headers to fit a car that they are supposed to fit.
