judging clutch pedal question 63-67

[Jim R.]

do they take points away if you have your clutch pedal in the short throw position as they do for the 4speed short throw.

Jim,
Short throw on clutch or shifter is no problem UNLESS you are attempting a PV. Bill

Bill -- I realize that the '65 judging guide does not specifically mention high or low pedal adjustment, but to be consistent with the paragraph below, IMHO, there should be a flight deduct for non-TFP. Same for the shifter rods being inserted in the lower holes on the trans sidecover [1-2, 3-4] levers for a short throw (ie. not TFP). If the judge can read the maincase and sidecover casting numbers, he/she can see where the rods insert.

The above items should be treated the same as for the quick steering. '65 TIM&JG says "Steering Knuckle .... non-PS cars use hole furthest from the spindle on the tie-rod ends". So there is (should be) a deduct [or at least a mention] of TFP for those manual steering cars with the N40-quick steer hole being used.
