1954 sunliner clutch equalizer bar question

[hotrodderhaag]

I’m working on a 54 sunliner convertible that has had a 292 y block . I’m looking for someone who has one of these cars, that we can get some photos of the clutch equalizer bar and its connection points . Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a 54, with a 4 speed and a 312. First thing - if you plan to go to dual exhausts using stock dual exhaust manifolds you need to get a 55 or 56 equalizer bar. This has a curve in it allowing you to use the stock dual exhaust manifolds. otherwise, the bar is right in the middle of the manifold outlet.


Pretty simple set up and I will try to get you a pic but it is in an awkward position to take a pic. There is a bracket that mounts on the frame and one that mounts on the engine. I don't know a source for these other than a parts car.


If you are doing it stock wise, I have a stock 54 equalizer bar if you need one.

Here's a pick I took of my car - don't mind the dirt, the car is a driver . Looks like I have to do some cleaning. Can't get a decent pic of the bracket on the frame, to much stuff in the way. I hope it helps. Notice the bend in the bar - this is a 55-56 bar. There is two half moon type bushings the are used on the bracket for the ball on the bar.


The pic shows the bracket attached to the block and some of the linkage to operate everything.

I have an extra '55 equilalizer bar you can have for the cost of shipping if it will help you. PM me with your address it you want it.
