i remember that 67-8 pedals were different than the 69. all you need is the correct pedals for the year.

Great video on the pedal assembly, I need to pull the small brake pedal for the manual trans and put in a bigger auto trans pedal on my ole Bird!

My dad and I did a stick swap in our 72 lemans wagon last year. 5 speed though. Lots of hiccups along the way.

you would think ames would have sent the correct bracket, i stold a bracket out of a 69 camaro for my bird when i installed the st10 worked great,

That went pretty well, I thought it would have been more welding, cool

So I’d assume reverse engineering this that a conversion from a manual trans to auto that a guy can simply swap the brake pedal shaft ? - yes ? Your videos are helpful … even if used to be different

It has been awhile since I have messed with standard tranny stuff, but you might need to add another cruise control switch to your clutch pedal. Great adaptation on the assembly!

great video looks like the conversion is going to work good. see you on the next one

i think what everyone really wants to see is the proper alignment of the 1969 Firebird front nose/bumper & bezels

It's not that's great fabrication my Firebird brother I'm very sure this video will help a lot of people it also shows there is nothing like original parts but with great skills you can make it happen 👍

Could you have used a 1969 Camaro pedal assembly? They are just about everywhere online.

Just like a lot of aftermarket parts you have to modify them they probably sent you Camaro parts boxed wrong !lol..

Omg this was a great video to see as I'm planning on doing a 4speed conversion! Just wondering how much good luck have ya had with Ames parts ? This lil glitch aside? Thanks!

Hello there, curious if you have installed your steering column. Read on a forum that the 67/68 brake pedal will hit the 69 column... Just curious if you ran into this issue? Going to be doing a similar modification to my 69, since 69 bird clutch pedal assembies are next to impossible to find. Great video, Mike

Take a look at your 68 car, see if Ames sent you one for a 67/68 car, I got a feeling (and from the look of it) they did. Also, the very thin cheezy taillight switch holder is a pain in the neck to get the peddle to put enough pressure on the switch to close the circuit for the brake lights to come on & off, I fought that problem for decades! on my 4 speed 400 car and have the tickets to prove it.

Gotta save them birds INDEED!

I think Aames should refund you 50% of the total price you paid for the set of wrong parts they sent you. We consumers pay good money and they just slap any old part in a box and send it out. If Aames is going to be so careless , we need to put the word out to the other guys DO NOT BUY AMMES PARTS BECAUSE THEY DON"T CARE WHAT THEY SEND YOU ! Also if you complain to the BBB and demand a partial refund Aames will correct the problem unless they really want to lose business ! I know doing this is a real pain but we will be helping those less fortunate in fabrication skills.

I am changing my Firebird to a manual trans from the slushomatic. What was the company you bought the pedals from for this project? Mine is a 67 so not sure they are the same.

it looks like you have a set of 67/68 bird pedals the 69 clutch pedals are longer and i dont think they make them after market i got lucky and was able to buy a set off facebook market place that worked i suggest starting there or 1st gen firebird groups
