By "Z bar" do you mean the clutch linkage bellcrank that pivots between
the block/bellhousing, and the chassis?

No wonder I could never find one, that's two people calling them
"Z bars". A Z-bar to me is a bracket bent into a .... Z shape. A
bellcrank is something that pivots and has usually two radial
arms.

That would explain that mystery.

I don't get the "equalizer" part?

What does the factory parts catalog call this thing, anyone know?
