Title: 69 shifter hole in floor board
Post by: sixt9x33rs on February 07, 2012, 03:14:00 AM: Did all 69 manual floor shift cars have the floor board cut with a torch? Regardless of tranny type?

Post by: sixt9x33rs on February 08, 2012, 12:34:10 AM: Ok, now I am getting somewhere...so if I had a factory 3 speed car and put a Muncie in it the shifter would probably hit the floor board in 2nd and 4th? I think I have a facotry 3 speed car. When I got my convertible it had an incorrect 4 speed Saginaw. So just trying to piece the facts together why my shifter hits.

Thanks,

Check this thread out.....Post # 3 has some templates for the hole cutout. Compare it to your car and see if your cutout is the right dimensions.
