If using the stock clutch linkage and pedals in your 63 I believe you have to use the one with lower positioned arm

The clutch pivot is in a different spot on the early Novas. The oil filter is also in a different spot. (Higher Up on the block I think) The pivot location is easy relocate; you can by a kit from all the Nova parts stores. I'm not sure on the oil filter.
