toploader
Got a toploader kit. I'm very confused. No cooling lines? No clutch cable? Am I missing stuff here? Also is it true that there is just a hole you punch out on the 67's firewall that you put the pedal through? Lastly, the block plate I got looks different from ones online, it looks like half of it, and it wasn't cut.
Please let me know, all imformation would be a great help!

Ok. Its off a 67 mustang and I'm putting it into a 67 also. I got some springs, one huge one and a few smaller ones. What about the block plate looking like its half of the ones online? And the hole punch out?
There's a hole in the block plate for the starter. Unless we can see a pic, it's going to be hard to identify anything wrong with it.
The short, thick spring is an over-center assist spring designed to go under the dash. If you're using a modern diaphragm-style clutch, leave this spring out. Diaphragm clutches require much less pedal effort than the OE long-style (3 fingers) clutch and don't require any spring assist. Leaving the spring installed will result in a weird snappy pedal feel and may possibly leave the clutch on the floor during high-rpm shifts.
The other springs are return springs for the linkage.

Mustangs had pushrod clutch, not cable. All the 64-73 pushrods are available. For a 67, every scrap of the whole setup is available new.
You need to hole saw a spot for the pedal pushrod. Be extremely careful not to make it too large. There is a round accordion-style seal for this hole.
The rear engine cover for the manual trans goes from the top of the engine to the bottom of the bellhousing. Sounds like you have the auto trans cover.
here are the pictures of what I got in the kit, i got it from a shop in WA. Take a look at the block plate it looks odd to me. Also, some more pics of the components and tag on the trans
That's definately the auto trans engine cover.
