Interesting info here, and it seems late 67/early 68 had some production changes where multiple configurations could actually be "correct" due to mere manufacturing timing.

I researched my shifter linkage long ago and thought my "flat" one was correct for my 68. But I'll be happy to say its not original if someone can nail this.

To clear the record, are there folks out there that say the original FGF shifters did not have any true Hurst markings on them? I'll have to go back and look again but I'm certain this is not correct. I think many original Hurst FGF shifters were clearly marked HURST.
