4spd short sticks

I ran a MR GASKET short stick shifter in my '64. I'm gonna guess the handle was about 8" tall. (I've still got it. When it warms up a bit I could measure it) It mounted high, so that the top edge of the shifter body was actually sticking partway through the factory hole in the floor. It was a bit of a reach to 1st & 3rd. Also, I had to remove the face plate of my Mopar under-dash AC unit because the shifter hit it in those two gears. Finally removed the AC unit all together.
