Why doesn't my new linkage allow me to shift

Just installed the new Demon's 4 spd linkage from Brewers and it won't shift into any gear. Actually, the shorter rod, 3-4, doesn't allow me to adjust it short enough to get to neutral. I can't align the three levers on the bottom of the Abody Hurst shifter box. This Hurst is old and sloppy and it's the first time i've tried to use it. I've been using an Ebody with a Pistol Grip. What could I be doing wrong?
