Hey Phil,

I ran into the same problem with my '69. I bought two sets of pedals from someone who had a '69 Camaro, but the bracket is different than the Firebird version. I was three days from the maiden voyage of my car and found out the brake pedal is bent in two places around the steering column for the Firebird and not the Chevy. What I did was to put the chevy clutch pedal in the Pontiac bracket with the automatic Pontiac brake pedal and trimmed the metal foot pad to fit the rubber pad of the manual pedal. The brake pedal hung lower than the clutch, so I straightened the clutch pedal in the places it is already bent in to lengthen it to match the brake pedal. Works great and nobody is the wiser.(until you broadcast it on the internet). Let me know if you need some pics.
