Default Pic or measurement needed

Does anyone have a pic of the Z-bar on a 68-69 A-body at rest? I need to see how far forward it goes. A measurement of how far forward the arm is from center of the Z-bar to the end of the arm would be great also.

Thanks

Thanks motor29, do you by chance have a pic of the lower arm that goes to the clutch? Maybe from the side so I can see how far forward it sits?

In the pic it looks like the upper arm is straight up, am I correct? My Z-bar looks different is yours stock or aftermarket?

Here are a few more photos from the backside where the z-bar meets the engine boss. I think I got this repro z-bar kit from Ames, the one that was in the car was out of a full size Pontiac but was completely wrong. Once I installed the new z-bar it did sit a little differently at rest it is as you see in the first picture. Hope this helps.
