looking for a pistol grip shifter for 72 Demon...4 speed non console car. See B and E shifters but no A body...are the E or B interchangeable?? any help here appreciated..thanks in advance
 
For whatever reason, Ma MoPar never chose to use pistol grips in A-bodies- but you should be able to use a b-body non-console stick/shifter. It'll bolt right in and function, just may sit a little awkward to the seat, guess you could always shorten the handle to make it fall where it's comfortable (just hope you cut a repop if you do)
 
I saw on Brewer's performance site they list a e body and claim it works well for A body....going to look into it....hope My existing shifter is bolt on...My last B body was a slip in type...just got the car and have to look
 
I'm using an e body pistol grip in my duster, and love it. I thing the b body ones look to tall , but just my opinion.
 
If yours wasnt factory with the pistolgrip, adding it wont add any value, but it will sure add WOW to it. Mine is a 69 cuda 4spd console car and I am adding the pistol grip, but I will be going new thru this company. Let someone else pay big $$ for the orig. You can get new that will work for your car.

I will be buying this for my 4 speed thanks for the info 4spdragtop

Nice choice! I just love the look and feel of the pistol grip..
 
I used the shorter e-body pistol grip without any bends in my 1974 Dart I converted from an auto to a standard. I liked this shifter handle but I found that my leg couldn't really ever relax with this shifter in the car. My leg would rest against the handle and it was somewhat uncomfortable on long trips. Perhaps I could have fixed the with a different seat combination but I always wanted to try a different handle. I was running original style bucket seats in that car.

I loved having the pistol grip in the car and the shorter throw made it seem more sporty. I will have a pistol grip in all of my 4-speed cars. I will also have competition plus style hurst shifter mechanisms. I loved going through the gears and having the stop bolts on the shifter.
 
I understand the shifter adds no value but I had one in a B body and an e-body and loved the look on peoples faces when they saw it and had to get their kids so they could see it.

I think a B body would be too tall...leaning towards e-body type

it appears brewer's performance agree's on the B body shifter....It's the same price as the other place recommended..I'm going for it....
