I have a 68 Camaro NOS Comp + aftermarket shifter (in the original box) tucked away for future use, Is there any info or numbers that would help with this topic? BTW is the mounting the same for a Small and big blocks? The off-set should not come into play as hursts are transmission mounted.

Appreciate the input gents. If there are materials available with notes to cross-reference that is what I'm seeking. Otherwise, with no bad intent directed at anyone, opinion or regurgitated "facts" with no back-up. Already covered this ground elsewhere.

I'm looking to break new ground(or uncover old earth), actual proof. If it exists, and is available, it benefits all. Even a nod in the right direction would be of benefit.

Meant to say documents are what is needed.

Good luck Steve, but I doubt you will find any documents with what you are looking for.

Joe,
What changed on the 67-8  aftermarket shifter?

The original 67-68 Camaro Hurst aftermarket shifter has a two piece welded neck
Then in about 1969 they changed to a stamp steel neck and used it for 67-69 Camaros and still use today
now you get same shifter for 67-69 but 69 uses a different stick

The original Camaro Hurst used a curved stick and shifter is silver cad
I have an original with the stick and have the original install sheet that shows it
It was also shown in the 1967 Camaro Hot Rod Magazine article where they claimed it was the first Camaro to get a Hurst shifter

That article inspired my search to find one ,was hard to find as not many around anymore

Does the install sheet show any materials/processes used or only how to install?
