a few 4 speed conversion problems

When the shifter stick is in neutral, pushing forwards is first gear, straight back, second. 3rd & 4th year are neutral, to the right, forwards for 3rd, back for 4th while still on the right.
Reverse is neutral position, pull left towards yourself, move into gear.

The rods ends for 1/2 & 3/4 should point inwards towards the passenger.
It’s been a while but IIRC, the reverse rod faces the driver side of the car as installed in the shifter arms.

The reverse rod is shorter with a heavier 90*-ish bend. The other rods are straight by compare. 1 rod being longer for the front lever.

Worst case scenario, you shift into first and it is actually 3rd. Even there done that screw up. ;)

If your “sure” you have an A body trans, the shifter should only have one mounting spot. So that’s located right. The AMD panel “If correct” can be slid around a bit to fit. No worries though, I’m better a carpet will cover up any mistakes.
