That looks identical of my setup. My only question is there is no way the straight rods would work with my crossmember, but then it was a column automatic. What if anything? did they do with a 4 spd. crossmember? different than an auto crossmember?

I remember well.... people took a torch and bent the rods to fit. I've done it several times myself. I took a length of coat hanger, bent that while the shifter mech was mounted and then took it to a bench and bent the shifter rods to match.
