Tony is right, Neal. You'll have to install the 4-spd hump in the floor, 
available aftermarket. Also, I don't think the E-body pistol grip will 
work unless you want to reach up under the dash for every shift! 
B-bodies take a long, s-shaped shifter handle to clear the dash and seat 
front. Even the 70 B-body pistol grip I have lightly hits the front of 
the driver's bucket.
