Yup. Saw an original 78 Elcamino 4-speed, and a couple of original 78 Malibu 4-speeds. I had an 84 Caballero that was converted to 4 speed...took the "standard" parts out of there and put it in my 78 ElCamino. Did you find one, or do you plan on making one? When I took the 4 speed parts out of the Caballero, they didn't look like home-made parts. And since no one was manufacturing these kind of parts for this type of car...at the time...I'm thinking maybe, just MAYBE, the 4 speed parts from a late-70's Nova is what I was looking at. The last Nova's (75-79) were very similar as far as sub-frames and suspension. And the Z-bar, and pivot ball (mounted to the frame), as well as the linkages that I had, fit TOO perfectly. After I sold the ElCamino, I was able to get a hold of a Nova parts catalog, which had pictures of a complete 4 speed conversion for 75-79 Novas...and wouldn't you know it...these parts looked exactly like the parts I had in the Caballero. Sorry for the long story...hope I didn't put you to sleep
