i was under the impression that the early t-14 was the same spline as
t-96 and alum auto.  the mitchell doesn't distinguish yokes for them.

also, all but earliest '68-'70 javelin and american 232s had t-14s
with the driveshaft you need.  yes, according to the mitchell, they
use the same shaft.

also note - early hornets and grems had t-96s as base tranny.  this
doesn't change the clutch linkage though.

you mean bellcrank etc?  let me guess - they have to be pre-'72...  or
you wouldn't be searching for an early one.

maybe someone with a parts book can tell you if anything post-'72 will
do you.  that should be the same for many years.

why won't the '60s linkage just bolt in?
