Default Does this look correct?

I bought a used shifter mechanism from a vendor that will remain nameless . It looks like the shifter neck was welded back on. It doesn't look right to me and wanted somebody to verify one way or the other if it will be a problem.

Jacob, your frame is looking good. You have taken on quite a project. I will run outside and check my shifter out, but it looks like yours is just like mine.

I just came in from looking at mine and it is not welded, but it is at that same angle. I shot a few pics for you to look at.

Thanks for the fast reply. Glad to see the same angle there. For some reason I thought it would be straight because of the assembly diagrams from the catalogs. The project is a 79 that I'm converting from an automatic to a manual I also have the 69 that is shown in my avatar.
I'll take more pics of the 79 project and post those later.
