Does anyone know a resource with a large scale diagram or exploded view of how the Mechanical linkage on the 82-83 cars is supposed to sit?

I'm having trouble determining the way one bracket is supposed to face, and my Chilton manual is too blurry and small to see enough detail.

 

If you're referring to the z-bar, or bellcrank bracket, there should be pre-existing holes in the frame rail that line up with the holes in the bracket.

 

Pat,

No, it was another bracket that goes between that one and the pivot stud on the Z Bar. Either way, I finally tracked down an exploded view from a GM shop manual online to see the correct way to put it in. Everything is installed now.
