Is it fairly simple to convert an A904's linkage from being mounted on the steering column to being a floor mount? I'd like to do this, just for the sake of appearance, once I replace the bench seat with a pair of buckets. |

Assuming you want an aftermarket floor shifter (B&M, Hurst...) then it should be a snap. The shifter will come with a cable and brackets to attach to your stock trans shift lever. I am assuming that you do NOT have a '65 car with factory cable linkage, that would be considerably harder, but still doable. Lou

It's a 1970 with what looks (in the Haynes manual) like rod linkage. Do the B&M or Hurst kits come with just the shifter itself, or the whole assembly? I'm also guessing I'll have to cut a whole in the tranny hump for this.

The aftermarket shifter come as a complete kit. As noted, most have a cable so all you need to do is drill a hole for the cable to go through and also a few mounting holes for the shifter itself. The factory stuff can also be used but that is a lot more work and requires welding. DD |

I'd take it but I wanna get the bucket seats in the Dart first, and before those I need a new alternator for my truck

I'll give you a holler once I get those buckets in, and if you still have it I'll take you up on it.

Sweet, I'll be sure to. I'm hoping to have her buckets by February (in time for her birthday), so hopefully you'll still have it then :p |
