General Motors part number 3973082082 Z bar

or equalizer was used on 1970 to 1981 F body

and at least one 75 X body car.

\
NOS Z-bar

This is a New Old Stock Camaro  and Firebird

equalizer I have in my collection. It has a black

phosphate finish.

Curvy

This lever has a distinct offset to follow the curve

of the floor board. The curvy lever was adopted

by most other car lines in the mid seventies to

allow it to be "tucked up" close to the firewall.

Engine End

The tapped hole for the grease fitting is near the

lower push rod arm.The lower push rod arm is

curved toward the front of engine bay for leverage

and features a gauge hole to aid in initial linkage

set up.

Outboard End

The upper push rod is straight. This end of the

center "pipe" has the machined step and groove

for ball stud and bushing retention.

Engine Stud Hole

There is a machined step approximately 1 3/8"

from the end.

Measurements

This is a hard part to get accurate measurements from,

but these will help in comparing to other Z-Bars at

swap meets. The main pipe is 10" end to end. The

curved lower push rod tab is approximately 4" from

the center of the pipe to the center of the rod hole.

The upper clutch push rod is about 4 1/4" center to

center.
