With the original transaxle on my ‘63 LeMans, I like to use the parking brake when I have the car parked. The original lever has been bent (I assume) and welded on in a different position than stock. This put it right next to the parking brake pedal, and I have since mashed the hell out of the release lever while applying the pedal!
OK, I just bought a whole new pedal assembly, but still need to figure out how to modify or replace the release rod so it clears the A/C duct under the dash. Did the A/C cars have a different release rod? I have searched this site high and low, as well as the internet, and have found no “A/C car release lever”. What gives?
The replacement pedal assembly, if mounted, would put the release lever right below the bottom of the dash, about 4” too high. See pics.
