trying to install my outer door handles , which i think are original to my 72 formula. what i am finding is the little rod that pushes the latch to open will not work on my handles . there must be a early type of rod needed . any one that can help or have some for sale let me know
cheers kind

did some more homework, this is what i found .two different type of handles .the one on the left was on my car and the one on the right is a buddy's of mine. Also found this odd rod in a bag
Maybe my handles were changed way back

Possible one is not a firebird, but a vega, or astre.

[Held for Ransom]

The 1970-5 Firebird (maybe other models too besides Camaro) are made in reproduction by OER PN's 9827570 and 9827571 (they used OE numbers) and are longer than the later 76-81 ones (OE 3060796/20099254 and 3060797/20099255). They are more expensive than the later ones too, usually double. The later, shorter ones, are sold under Dorman, PN's 77017 and 77019.
