I was just discussing this with Sarah. The throw out arms on both the 
pedal and the tranny both changed (got longer) in early '72. The end 
effect is nil, as long as both arms are long or both are short, 
although the long arm combo puts less tension on the cable.

BUT, if her pedal cluster has been swapped with a later one, a long 
arm in front combined with a short arm in the rear would be a bad 
combination.

I've done the other combo, with short in front and long in back, and 
that gives a delightful, light pedal. That was actually wonderful.

I'm pretty sure the tranny has the correct '71 short arm, but we'll 
pull the cluster and cable tomorrow to see what's up there.
