Re: 4-spd shifter

Ah, I was not picturing that particular shifter. Sorry, I was thinking of the kind with the longer shift arms where the box is mounted on the end of the tail shaft housing. That wouldn't work with a console, of course.

  My car was a pushbutton originally, but I converted it to a 4-spd and 
  added a B-body pistol grip, which wasn't intended to go inside a 
  console. I had to have a piece made to adapt the pistol grip to the box 
  and step it over to the right far enough to clear the console, but it 
  sits a little too far forward...that's why I want to redo it now. Here's 
  a pic.
