SS/B Barracuda project

Stefan the red ball you have looks correct. The ball has a "R"
And an arrow printed on it in white ink or paint. This paint never lasted long if the part has seen some use. Wore away
easily. There is no correct replacement for this so don't get rid of your worn one.
The markings are not set into the ball deep like the 4-speed H pattern in the typical Hurst ball. Very shallow and would wear away smooth quickly.
