I was not aware of the pedal change. We have often encountered the interference when a later 59AB engine is installed in a 32, the remedy for which has been to "adjust" the attitude of the brake pedal so that it goes past the bell housing/block instead of hitting it, but not so far that the pedal/pad is too close to the steering column tube. We had thought that this problem was occurring because the later blocks are a little fatter than a 32-36 in that area, but apparently it was also a problem early on... Good to know! Thanks!
