Mark,

Was that what you were looking for? Is that the same as the reverse lock-out?? If so, I do have all of that still attached to the shifter...

[MGSCP]

YEAH Geo....that's what I'm looking for.....
thanks for the reply ...

Who makes the hump on post #3? One of my cars is going to need a new floor and the hump is pretty much toast, altho it looks VERY similar to that. All the others I have seen look nothing like that.

[Madmax69]

Here's a pic of an original one from a 67 car with console. And a shot of the part # of the hump.

Sorry, not much left of it in the first picture. Gotta love Iowa winters.....

Hey Guy's I need some help. I bought a 4 speed setup going into my 72. It's a sept 69 M-21 with 69 linkage but no reverse set up, so I just got one from Mike G & it hit's So according to the pic's on this thread I need the 3 rod's for 71-72. Does anybody need my 69 rod's for a swap to my year? Or does some one have a used set for my year? Thank's

I recommend that you guys find a friend to weld the rod-attachment subassembly around the margins where it meets the pedal. The two spot welds from the factory are a joke. I've killed two of these over the years.

Hey guy's I still need the 69 back drive stuff or??????????? I've tried every combo with Mike's part's & they just won't work. He said at the Nat's that he's never had this problem before. Anybody use his part's on a 69? Thank's--Lee

[MGSCP]

I have rods for a 69 and rods for a 70-72....and I have mike's parts... well.... they just won't work on a 69 setup.... I tried....

[Lee Bacon]

Ok does anybody need 69 rod's? Swap for 70-72???

Does that finish with a chrome moulded trim ring?

Mark- every one of the lower boot rings I have seen were either black painted or black phosphate coated.

[Todd69GS]

Important to mention that the ring is underneath the outer flap, so it is not visible. The picture would be correct.

Does anyone have an pic of a 70-72 floor pan with the correct bracket for the D56 "short non-shift floor console" / storage console for bucket seat cars without the full length console? A drawing of the bracket is on page 1-12.1 of the 70 assembly manual. I am trying to locate the correct position of the bracket and was hoping to see an original so I can at least get close. Thanks.

I just wanted to add a few things here, being ate up with four-gears for a long time.

First, the B-O-P bell housings without the pivot ball stud are mostly from V-6 Vega body cars. They used a cable style clutch, usually with fork came out the opposite side.

Second, in my experience the clutch pedal assemblies are '64-'65 '66-'67 and '68-'72. In most instances the '64-'67 will inter change. *(On pretty much all A-body stuff) There are some slight changes in the pedal shapes and bends.

Third, the clutch cross shaft/bell crank/z-bar is '64-'65 '66-'67 amd '68-'72. The main difference is a bend to clear the change to a collapse-able sterring column in '67. The BOP z-bars (OEM ones) are multiple link deals to allow for the motor to torque over, where the Chevy one don't. In the cars I have converted, I used Chevy Z-bars, because, well, the were already in the reproduction market.

The question I have, any of you '64-'67 guys have header issues? I have ran into this with a '65 442 and a '67 442. All the rest of the A-bodies and X-bodies I have converted went ok.

[1969buickGS]

Hey there gd2227 and all of our Buick friends,

I need some good pictures of the floor area with the carpet removed -- I'm converting a '69 Skylark from an automatic transmission shifted on the column to a four-on-the-floor. This one picture you have of the hump alone is helpful -- anyone have some good pictures of the whole floor with the hump from various angles?

I'm installing a Muncie M-21 and a Buick consolette.
Thanks! Take care.

BTW- there is a number stamped on this one: 6068W22

[racngrn]

Any thoughts on the retaining ring?? There are enough 68 -72 4 speeds out there to repro, I would think, let alone the conversions. Thanks

I am certain Jim (flynbuick) was posting the pic for reference. Let me work on getting some links posted for the above requests...

[gd2227]

Attached is a link for Parts place and the repop clutch fork. It says it's a direct replacement for specific years to include 71. Is this an exact reproduction? Does it have the hole for the spring? I also included the picture.

If not
