The best fit is an a-body four speed. You want to avoid the early ones (both with the Ball and Trunnion u-joint and those with the 904-size output shaft).

The later a-833s with the scissor type shift mechanism(inside the side shift cover) are not as desireable either

pre 1970 the shifting mechanism was a ball detent set up(prefered) and after was the scissor type...buy I do have the scissor type in my Duster and no problems yet
