1973 GP clutch pedal/manual swap
 
Hello folks. My parts list so far that I have:

Quicktime RM-8070 bellhousing
McLeod 462101 166t flywheel
McLeod 75221 flywheel
RAM hydraulic throwout
TKX .68 trans

Going into a 73 Grand Prix behind a 455, currently a th400 in it

My question, what do I do for the pedal? I bought a pedal from opgi

https://www.opgi.com/interior-access...e-G241494.html

But what do I need for the rest? Is this a good option?

Ive not looked closely yet, but will the pedals simply bolt up to existing bracketry in the car? Or do I go a whole separate unit like above?

Much appreciated. Thanks

Apparently there is an install video on their site. Answered most of my questions. I will buy it and see how it goes I guess

I can't be of any help, as I've never manual swapped a GP before. That said, it's awesome that you're doing it! Should make it a blast to drive

If you can find parts from a 1973 to 1975 Grand Am, LeMans Manual transmission car
That would help with the necessary parts

This will be my next unit. I'm my opinion this is the best setup on the market for a manual setup. Malwood.

So I bought the Malwood setup.

Bolts up! Needed to make a small 1/4" dent on the firewall because the GP has a cowl thats different than Monte Carlo apparently, but it BOLTS UP to my surprise.

Ross @ Malwood is knowledgable, and the money on the unit was WELL SPENT

Bellhousing is aligned with .007 dowel pins and in spec, Flywheel, Pilot Bearing, and Clutch installed.

Going to put another couple hours into this today and see how close I am to finishing. I will take some pictures.
