So in my research for good headers (FPA) for my car, I've come to the realization that I may need to convert to a hydraulic clutch to avoid issues with the z-bar linkage. This wouldn't be the worst thing in the world as I've already broken one lower clutch linkage rod through normal use, and it might be nice to have a smoother, lighter clutch to make the car less of a bear to drive.
There are no external slave kits that are designed for a toploader (no mounting options on the bellhousing), so I'm looking at hydraulic TO bearing kits. From what I can tell, my options are American Powertrain and Modern Driveline. I'm leaning towards Modern Driveline's kit because of the slick altered-geometry pedal linkage, but I'd like to get some opinions from those who have done this.
The Car:
67 fastback, 331, close-ratio toploader, manual brakes
