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 #2298 shifter plate is the same one that was used on the 1964-65 A-body 4 speeds.

The 68 to 74 mounting plate is 6350, Brewer's Performance - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission and Component Specialists, which positions the shifter the same as the later, 75 up?, 0090 mounting plate. The difference is the 6350 plate uses counter sunk mounting bolts as opposed to the standard bolts on the 0090 mounting plate.

You can add the stop bolts by swapping the main case and main case spacer. The housings fit the same. I have done the swap on a 64-65 A Body shifter. You can bang the gears pretty hard without the stops. There is almost no difference between a MOPAR OEM shifter and an aftermarket Competition Plus shifter.

In later years, some aftermarket Competition Plus shifters did not use the MOPAR reverse arm. There were more than a few installation kits with different rods and arms through the years.
