Mark ..... not to take away from your windshield right now, but dang dude your thread saved me again !!
I dropped my engine and tranny in yesterday and lo-and behold, my shifter assembly on the transmission sits WAYYYYY back.
I remembered you had made an adapter for your shifter, and when I looked it up today, you had the Hurst "C" shifter handle there too.
Found one on Ebay, should be here next week !!
Thanks man, you are a life saver even when you are not trying to be !!
