>>>That's the clutch effort reduction kit.   One of the knocks against the 
Pantera early on was excessive clutch effort.   To combat that, the linkage 
was redesigned to incorporate some monkey-motion to increase the mechanical 
advantage of the pedal over the master cylinder.
****My 72 had a rather firm clutch effort when I bought it. At some point I
changed the clutch type - someone like Mike could no doubt tell us if it was
a diaphragm type or 3-finger or what... but the clutch effort was reduced
dramatically in the same car by changing style of clutch.

Message- the clutch effort reduction linkage helps reduce feel. Clutch type
does as well.
