Hurst. Just installed a Competition/Plus in my '76. Did use a stock looking stick from Zip. Stick alone was $90.

Don't let the 'old lady' know!

Were you able to do it without unbolting and jacking up the transmission? that stock plate was an unbelieveable PITA for me to remove.

I'm too embarrased to say how I messed it up...gotta order both arms again. I had a bad day last night...lol. That and bleeding the brakes....bleeder on front right caliper is broken off.
