You need to match the shifter, and its mounting plate, to your trans.

EDIT: Ugg... I just caught that you have a hurst shifter... I would assume either would fit just fine based on the information I Posted below.


The only difference between the factory four speed shifters from 1964-1967, 1968-1976 and 1977-1981 was on top.. The shaft and handle. All the lower component parts are the same. Example, the gates, lower bracket, and so on. So you can mount either shifter in the car. The handle on the 1968-1976 shifter was shorter.

I've got one of those stock looking shifter handles that will bolt up to your shifter. Only problem is I have to find it but if you want it send me a pm and I'll send it to you. May not look the best in the world but at least the price is right.
