The equalizer is in excellent condition has the ball stud, retainer clip and all with star washer and nut.
The rubber seal is a bit ratty at the hole, and the frame piece is in super shape.

I also have a release bearing. Looks slightly used, it was in a box of parts.

I need to crawl around my bench, but I think I have the long release arm that connects to the pedal to the outer lever. I think I was missing the clevis and the inner lever.

If anyone can come up with the correct pedal to Z rod.....please measure it. I believe this is the one that I modified for a 66 just by replacing one end. It would be nice to know for future reference.

I've got to take mine out anyway, so I'll do that tomorrow and report back on the correct length and where the slight bend occurs.

 Michael,

  That's the piece I thought would be the most difficult to find.  Let me know what you need for the parts and shipping. I'll get payment on the way.

 Dan,

  Thanks for the link.  I wasn't aware of that being available and it would do the job.

Let me box them up and send them out Monday.

How does $0.00 sound?

 :glasses9:

I've received more here from you and others than I can tally.

 Michael,

  I am really appreciative of your generosity.  We will talk. 

 More progress on the '64 ?  I am glad you have it up and running.  The wiring was a nice challenge for me.  Thanks for the opportunity to do it for you.

 Had hopes of making it down your way this winter, but it won't happen.

  Again, many, many thanks,

I am waiting on the windshield to arrive in the next week or so. I'll trailer it down the have the exhaust installed, and drive it around the corner to get the windshield put in.

Then it will be the time to drive it around over a few weeks to break in the engine, tranny, rear end and bedding in brakes.

After that, I'll be hunting elephants, and ponies and such...

I plan on Bowling Green this fall, and Crusin' the Coast in Ocean Springs, if any opportunity to intersect with you at some point, I am open to trying to do that.

And I will get a "write up" on all of this and some pics and video in the next month.
