Hurst Comp Plus Questions

There seems to be some confusion in this post. The OP is referring to the three levers which are part of the shifter mechanism, not the three shift arms that bolt to the transmission. From recollection I think brewers or passon list the proper shift mechanism levers on their website. Some fords (and others?) used rubber grommets in the holes on the ends of the levers to dampen out vibration (which explains the larger holes) , makes for a sloppy shifter though. I believe that the Hurst comp plus mechanism used in b vans and pickups with the 833 overdrive uses the correct shifter mechanism levers for an a body. Obviously the rods are completely wrong though, as is the shifter mount bracket. And yes, the shifter mechanism can be disassembled to re build and change the levers.

Dave, According to the brewers website I do have the correct shifter mounting pad for 67-76 a body cars, I know that I need new shift rods and such, I ended up picking up a correct shifter and other assorted parts for my swap last Friday. Now I just need to make sure I have the right brackets that bolt on the tranny or I will need those as well. Thanks for all the info, its really teaching me a lot. Thanks for sharing fellas!! Good stuff!
