I found all the proper numbers for all the correct parts by doing a Muncie and a Hurst search on the internet. What I found was amazing. Beleive it or not there are different part numbers for ALL of the following as each and every application is different from car to car year to year.
Oh yeah, and to further complicate things, there are original type shifter bodies/handles and then there were the early aftermarket and later aftermarket shifters by Hurst.
What to look for: 1) Shifter body 2) " " mounting bracket (there are TONS of configurations) 3) Shifter handle 4) Shift linkages (these are crucial they are supposed to have numbers on them). 5) Shift levers (also have numbers on them and there are several different ones out there). 6) Also be sure you have the correct Z-bar, linkages & pivot ball 7) " " clutch fork 8) " " " ball
I may be missing something from this list. However, the reason I mention all of these parts and finding the correct stuff is due to the fact that my car had ALL of the above parts that were NOT correct for my car/application. I am guessing that may cars over the years become butchered and people replace old worn parts with incorrect parts etc.
It is amazing that my car even worked at all prior to finding and replacing everything. The geometry of my entire set up from shifter to Z-bar was completely off and not even close to where is should have been.
Now I would have never known any of this if it wasn't for my buddy down here whom we now refer to as "Ye Ole Pontiac Wizzard" as he seems to know EVERYTHING about Pontiacs and has a collection of them too boot!
