I have gone through tons of threads trying to figure out if I do truly have the linkage and the tabs on the side of the trans set up right. I have seen many pics that say the tabs go this way, then others show something else.
So I need to know where do the tabs go on the A833 OD and how is the linkage run.
The trans is a 78 A833 in a 64 V8 Valiant, with a 68 A-Body Hurst Shifter.

I am still having problems with the car, and the linkage/tabs problem and possibly the shifter are keeping me from driving the car and I am getting fustrated....
 
Try finding a FSM for the '75 to '78 set up, they have good pics and instructions in them.
Maybe someone here has a pic they can post.
 
That would be awesome.........

I don't have a picture at the moment (not at home), but I can tell you that the 3-4 lever is simply flipped upside down from normal 833 4-speed.

If not, you can still drive it, but 3rd (now 1:1) will be in 4'ths location and 4th (O.D.) will be in 3rds location. That makes for some crazy shifting (U-pattern). Yes, I did that for a week once years ago because I was too lazy to crawl back under and flip it!
 
Here's a diagram too of the OD setup, for what it's worth:
