Finished installing the repro Hurst shifter. As far As I'm concerned it's identical to a Comp Plus with the exception of no bushing between the 3 rod ends and shift levers at the transmission, and a round shift handle. I'm very happy with it. IMO Can't see spending another $100 for the addition of the bushings.

Haha, thanks guys.  Yeah I hear about her street escapades on occasion, she loves driving these classic cars.   Just as I do with all my cars, it will eventually see a little strip action in pure stock form to see how this sneaky stocker build runs, so having a perfect working tight shifter is a must for that.  But 99% of the time it's mainly a nice cruiser for my wife.  So I have to keep her happy.  ;D

As long as Mama is happy then it's all good. Doesn't everyone have a wife who can row gears in a first gen?
