There must be a bunch of different Camaro/Nova Muncie shifters like with the Chevelle Muncie shifters where there is at least 5 different ones between 68-72.

Your right Joe...and it can get confusing. I know of at least 4 different shifter/linkage/lever combinations that were 'factory' for 67-8 Camaros. Novas were similar, but have their own styles as well.

Years ago, I began researching/restoring Muncie shifters partly to get the 'right' ones for my own cars and secondly as a winter time hobby. Since then, I've had the opportunity to view/measure/trace shifters from both BB and SB unmolested cars. I've noted the following differences that apply only to 67-8 BB Muncie shifter:

1. Both the reverse linkage (rod) and the stablizer shaft have very noticable bends in them. This is because the shifter mounting holes in the BB transmission crossmember are offset to the right about 1/4 inch compared to the SB one.

2. The 1-2 and 3-4 rods are ever so slighty offset to the right for the same reason. This is very difficult to measure on 36 year old rods but it can be done.

3. The part manuals as well as the assembly manual list BB and SB rods under different numbers. Some say this is because the BB rods are larger in diameter. Although this is true with the 69 factory Hurst, I've never measured a difference in the Muncie rods.

I know pics would be helpful. However, Jerry MacNeish bought the last BB shifter I had at the 03 Spring Autofair in Charlotte, NC. Never-the-less, I do have accurate tracings and measurements if anyone is in need.
