4-speed hump install

I agree the one you got looks a little butchered, you may be able to make it work but I would get a repro or find another used one.

If the hump is not bent up it will fall into place. The factory just stich welded it in every couple inches and then cut the floor out on both sides of the cross member with a torch. I've had a lot of factory 4spd cars and none of them looked the same around the hump, they actually look like a kid did it. I had one where the factory actually cut into the hump with the torch when they cut the floor out and it was filled with the seam sealer when they sealed the floor.

If your not sure about it, I would not weld it in till you have the shifter in place to make sure it goes through all the gears before you weld it in.
