904 to 727 shift linkage

I have a 1972 340 Plymouth Duster with a 727 transmission, the previous owner Mickey Moused the shift linkage (Welded or repaired one of the levers on the shaft). I made all the necessary adjustments to the shift linkage step by step according to my 72 Plymouth shop manual, however, the shift indicator on the column does not line up for 2 & 1, the Park, R, N & D are pretty close but not centered to the letters, is this because of the cross shaft lever angles or length? Would you have the correct linkage for my 72 Duster w/727 trans? Your response to these questions will be greatly appreciated, Thanks So Much!
Regards,
Vinny P.
