That's a good question about the stick, but I don't know what the number is - we installed it, and pray that we don't have to monkey with it again!

You are correct about the lever slots and the backup mechanism, diff for '68 vs '69, but the shifter hump and console were the same. I don't know why they call it a 'Special Build', nor why it isn't listed. Jody hooked me up in fine fashion, and he's a dealer for the Hurst products.
