IT is cool to hear all the HP stuff being engineered in the V-8 vairs. BUT,... a mechanical linkage w/ harder -harder , over-center, easier -easier........ has some real advantages [like sitting at traffic lights, or in parades]. Somebody has to have already worked out this problem [as I will need to]. I have a muscle missing in my left leg which makes it very difficult to operate a hydraulic clut ch,........... yet, I have had n o difficulty at all driving Chevelles , 'Vairs,... Vettes, Cam aros or "Shoebox" cars w/ stock linkage. . Anybody do the ,"Mechanical Thing" on thier V-8 'Vair ?????
