I know this may be off topic since my post concerns an E-Body but hopefully some one here has some insight..I am installing 2” TTI headers on my 73 challenger with a 440 and auto trans. The slapstick linkage is hitting the collector flange. I have already removed a 1/4 from the bracket and flipped shifter rod to the top side per the TTI directions. There is still interference from the collector flange, and It will not allow the shifter to go into park. I loosened the header and moved it so I could shift into park. There are two small nicks on the left side of the linkage next to the pin where the collector his the linkage.

Can I move the mounting hole inward about a half inch and grind off the end if the z bar so it will clear the header, my wrench is pointing to the location I want to relocate the attachment.

My advise is: loosen the header so the pieces don't interfer and drill the hole and relocate the piece and see if it shifts prpperly, but don't cut off the excess until you determine that the car will shift properly.

that is my thinking as well..the photos show it in the loosened position.. if I were to tighten it it would go about 1/2" deeper into the arm
 
OH
I would give it a shot!
Seeing that it is adjustable, I am certain it will still shift properly. The geometry will be changed slightly, but it should still work?
 
Ok, rather than drilling or grinding, I bent the lever upward and clearanced the floor pan a little so there was enough clearance for the adjustable rod.

That is a low stress pivot point. I'd just grind the end of the shaft down for clearance and run it.

I bet you could take it down to the outside diameter of that retaining washer.

If you change the pivot location, you alter the swing ratio.

Thanks again all
 
I would do half and half....take half of the material off the header flange and the other half off the shift lever that way you only lose a little integrity off of each instead of a lot off of one or the other??
