I've used those shift levers on later model transmissions. The only difference is the later ones have an area in the middle that is a larger hole for the bolt to go through.
You can use a carbide cutter to do this or mill them. I would be willing to do this for a nos shifter.

Also the studded levers the slot is .600" long, and the bolt style the slot is .750" long... So the average guy without a machine shop can only use this shifter on a 1968 and older Muncie, or a ST-10... Crash

Couldnt you bring them to a machine shop to have the holes made larger in the center?..or just get three other arms to use on either transmissions and keep the same shifter...If the winner of the shifter is that fussy Im sure I have the correct arms for 69 later that I'll include from other Ramrod shifters I have.Like you say Hemicolt..where you gonna find a NOS Ramrod ??

Your add say this shifter "Fits all Muncies", which it does not...
If some one wanted to buy this shifter and had a 1969 and later Muncie, and they try to bolt it up and it doesn't... I can't tell how many calls I get from people who buy shifters on E-bay and there misrepresented as to what they fit... Hope this helps... Crash |

Well All I can say is I have three other Ram rod shifters here and if the new owner needs another type of lever to mount it to the side cover on a 1969 and newer I have them free of charge ( whatever will get it done),

The lucky individual that ends up with this shifter doesn't need it if he can't figure out how to make it work on his transmission... If he is buying a shifter that requires modification to the trans tunnel in the first place he should be able to figure out the rest of the issues... If he can't cut the hole in the floor and make the cuts needed on certain transmissions he/she probably can't shift the thing either.... I would be all over this shifter if I wasn't involved in another project right now and I would hack whatever needed to be hacked to get it in the car... My 68 has some super shifter rods and some comp plus rods while using a supershifter mechanism on a comp plus mount with a comp plus handle....
I was thinking super shifter when I mentioned tunnel modification. My old super shifter sat high and I had to cut quite a bit for fitment. I can't remember how much the vertical gates require but i'll stick with my story that if your running this shifter you probably know the meaning of "improvise" Tommy [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/ ![]() |

Tommy..I cant believe the guy that buys this would be the kind of guy to drop it off at his mechanics place to have it installed..If He's that lame he probibly wouldnt make it out of the driveway..the guy who wants to own this is either a true hotrodder or serious vintage parts collector. And be willing to cut a huge hole in the floor.!!

There you go, problem solved. Just ask your buyer which ones he needs at checkout.
Here are the two boots I have. The one on the left is nos and the one on the right is used. That's the one I will cut down for the Vega.

If your buyer fusses and doesn't have a machine shop in there city or has never used a die grinder..lol...
I have several sets of the shift levers for the other style. Maybe post you have that covered and you won't have a problem. I sometimes take it for granted that everyone doesn't have these types of tools..lol <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MR-427</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Couldnt you bring them to a machine shop to have the holes made larger in the center?..or just get three other arms to use on either transmissions and keep the same shifter...If the winner of the shifter is that fussy Im sure I have the correct arms for 69 later that I'll include from other Ramrod shifters I have.Like you say Hemicolt..where you gonna find a NOS Ramrod ?? </div></div>
