"DZ-code 302 V8 topped with the RPO 956 Cross-Ram dual-quad intake — only ~136 total Camaros (Z/28 and standard 302) were built with the Cross-Ram in 1969, per multiple Camaro research sources."

Interesting comments about the 1111480 distributor on a prior CRG discussion:

Interesting that you could get a Hurst shifter as an option when the Firebird debuted in 1967:

You would have thought that GM would have designed the floor pan originally so it would not have to be modified at the assembly plant when installing the Hurst shifter.

I found a photo taken of a 1968 Camaro transmission tunnel for a 4-speed car:

Comments were also made that some owners of 1969 Camaros had tunnels that appeared to be cut with a torch on manual transmission cars.  In 1969, Hurst shifters were standard for 4-speed cars and perhaps this is why there were issues with clearance that required the use of a cutting torch at the factory.

If you are still having issues, you might consider checking out this adjustable cross member:

There was a recent discussion about the use of DOT 5 brake fluid on CRG:

I converted a 1966 Mustang from an automatic to a 4-speed.  I even changed the differential to a Ford 9 inch nodular unit as I found a complete assembly in a junkyard as there was a 1969 Mustang 428 Cobra Jet being salvaged (this was in the 1970s).  Had to buy another Ford Toploader and rebuilt it myself, using the 1966 Ford manual.  Even after building the transmission, it still wasn't easy to shift and I thought it must be the design of the Toploader.  When I later bought a 1970 BOSS 302 that originally was used to drag race and still had its original transmission, it was so easy to shift.  Unfortunately, the owner installed a Hurst Super Shifter and had to cut the tunnel to install it.  The shifter is still on the Mustang and I've thought of replacing it with a Hurst Competition Plus, but the real problem is the 2600 pound McLeod 3-finger pressure plate, which is great if you are shifting at 7000 rpm, but no fun if you are driving slowing around the neighborhood.  Keep us updated on your progress. - Mark 

I found a video about installing a Hurst Competition Plus shifter on an AGE transmission for a 1968 Camaro:

According to the video, the shifter mount is included with the Hurst shifter, which is part number 3914339. 

My friend had a 1968 Z28 Camaro which had a Hurst Competition Plus shifter and it was installed in the stock position without any modifications made.

Seems you had a similar brake issue back in 2012.  How did you resolve the problem?

Is there a VIN number stamped on the transmission?

Badshifter - If you want to make your 1969 Z28 Camaro a street car again, at least you won't have to pull the engine and put in a DZ motor!
