competition plus shifter
Here is a pic of the 1969 Factory Hurst Shifter and Rods.
The second picture is the aftermarket Hurst Competition Plus Shifter and rods on the same transmission.
When you bought the aftermarket Hurst Comp Plus Shifter kit it, included the #2298 shifter mounting plate.
The #2298 shifter plate is the same one that was used on the 1964-65 A-body 4 speeds.
The 1968 and later factory installed Hurst Shifters used the #0090 mounting plate.
If you look close at the two assembles. You will notice that the aftermarket Hurst Comp Plus Shifter sits more upright,
but the the factory Hurst shifter is tilted forward.
The last picture shows the two mounting plates sitting on top of each other to illustrate their differences.
There are also differences in the shifter arms.
The lesson is that you cannot interchange the rods between the two.
I know, because I tried to do so and I ran into fitment problems.
