It should be a black ball, white letters, with that shifter. My M-20 in the '68 had that ball, but I pulled it and installed the Hurst bar for more surface space to rip through the gears. My M-20 actually heckles and curses at me as I go through the motions! It complains endlessy but never lets me down. Not sure if its because it misses the black ball or if thats just the way M-20s act. Strange girl, my Suzie-Q.
