I bought what I was told was an original 914-6 a reverse lever (aka bell crank) 914-423-025-01. When I compare it to the parts catalog drawing, it appears one of the arms is oriented the wrong way.
Can someone confirm or clarify what is correct? I guess there are several that look similar (i.e., 911) but are not functionally interchangeable. Thanks.  |

My understanding is that here is many versions of that bell crank.
I wish someone had a degreed drawing of the various versions and which car/configurations they are for. You are obviously putting your six back to original but J-West came up with its own version on splines which can be adjusted. |

Seems like there were a few versions for sure. One for carbs, MFI,CIS, and a special one for Sportmatic transmission.

Ugly as sin but available and adjustable.
https://sierramadrecollection.com/products/...VZsSga8y0w9zRc6 The arms of yours are brazed on and can be rotated but of course that will destroy the pretty zinc plating. |

I can go dig mine out later to confirm the angle but yours seams close if not correct. |
