"Dr. Olds" retired to Crossville, Tn and passed away a couple years ago. I figure he or his family has the DR OLDS tennessee tag.

Bill,

Nice thread. Im from Seymour,TN currently working on a 72 cutlass as well small world. Do you still have that 455?

Yes 1 inch Andrew, that is what Dutch recommended for my set up.

You are correct on the brake pedal/clutch pedal mount/brace. This is after I bought a "bolt in kit" that was sold as "plug and play". There has been quite a bit of trimming to the bracket too for clearance of added Clutch pedal and M/C rod. Since we were making new sleeves to space it out properly, we went the extra mile with the bushings also. This "made to fit" "bolt in" product only took about four hours to get correct fitment (had to rebend pedal) , rod angle, travel and alignment. I have bragged on some parts that actually did what they were advertised to do, this McLeod 68-72 A-body sure fit clutch pedal/master cylinder kit was anything but.....

Bill you are definitely right about the McLeod kit. The rod for the clutch pedal was SUPER long even using the spacer they provide. I ended up buying a stock pedal set since I needed the 4spd brake pedal anyway. Maybe I'll be able to recoup a cpl dollars off of their clutch pedal?

Any updates?
