I am converting my auto to manual, having a heck of a time finding accurate info on the pedal assembly and zbar assembly, does anyone have a photo of either or both, it would be much appreciated.I am not sure I have all the parts and the books and drawings are not very helpful.
Thanks..
Gary

Gary,

I'd really like to help, but because of the headers, I really can't get a picture of my 'bird from the top. I'm not is a position right now to get it on a lift and shoot one from underneath. Why don't you list what you've got, a picture of it laid out would help, and maybe some of us can take a look and respond. Mine was a factory 3sp o/d. 38 years ago, I pulled the clutch stuff off a parts car and converted the bird I had then. It wasn't all that much, but I can't remember after all these years.

Gary.  Like Miker, I'd like to help you on this, too.  I've got an acquaintance who I saw a couple of months ago who had a complete 'Bird set-up under a bench.  I'll see if I can connect with him this weekend.  Assuming that I get the pictures, my challenge will be to see IF I can figure out how to post them on here.  

My understanding is that a large number of the 'Bird stick shift components were 'Bird only, not 'borrowed from Ford or Mercury passenger car.

Old Mics,
Thanks so much for taking the time to dig the parts out and photo ,comparing to what I have it looks like I have everything. I am having issues with the rod connections at the bolts, the rods have a much larger hole and a flat spot on mine that don't match the shoulder bolts. I see they sell a square looking washer that rides on the side of the rod but what takes up the slack around the larger hole? Also I have a spring and Z shaped bracket with an adjusting bolt for the clutch assist, also appears to fit very loose with none keepers over a mushroom shaped pin sticking out side of pedal assembly. When attached per book view and pedal depressed the spring goes slack and then falls off. However its good to know I have mostly all the major parts on hand.

Couple of Pics from the Parts Catalog. May or may not be of help.

  

Oldcarmark.  Oldmics' pictures were great.  Your suggestion of Gary using the '49-'59 Ford Illustrations Catalog as a reference guide is an excellent thought, too!

If you need clairification on those smaller parts, let me know exactly what you need to see and I can post that up.

Funny as I did not realize that I did not have the pedal return spring until I looked at the pictures. I'm sure its around here somewhere.

That's all off my 3 speed (no O.D. ) "E" Bird that I"m restoring.
