I put a Hurst Pro-matic on my 727. Wasn't too dificult. Just make sure you have the correct bracket for the trans, drill the hole for the cable, and route the cable away from the hot exhaust.
I think it would be difficult to reach with the bench seat. Use my second picture for reference. At least half the shifter is behind the leading edge of the seats. This area would have to be cut out (I've seen it done) of your bench for the shifter to mount close enough to reach it.
It wouldn't be too difficult to mount and then remount after the seat change. Use the same hole for the cable (it's hidden under the carpet).
Still running the factory kick down linkage.
I bought a B&M w/o a manual. can I run the cable through the firewall or drill a home in the tunnel. I am building a custom console so it will not be attached to the floor.
Thanks
ian.
is your car on the road now ?
Yeah, I've been using the shifter for a little over a year now. Everything works fine.
It's almost like a form of theft deterant because if you don't know how a ratchet shifter works, it's hard to get it into gear. I had a car guy get in it and he couldn't figure out that you had to lift and pull back to get it out of park!!
Thank you US John,
I believe those are what I need...I believe that this shifter is no longer in production.
I don't have the cable nor the gizmo that goes into the transmission but I think I can buy those bits from B&M.
