Hello everyone, my son and I bought a 1969 Firebird last month. Car is a roller, currently with no motor or transmission and will be a father/son project. My question is the car has the factory console mounted shifter for the auto trans yet it has what looks like a transmission linkage arm at the end of the steering column too. I originally thought maybe someone has installed a column shift steering column from a different car but I see no signs that the column ever had a shifter on it. Ive looked around for an answer but I am still stumped. Can anyone enlighten me as to what this arm on the end of the steering column is for on a console shift car?
Not sure if this forum is geared towards factory restoration only but our plan is to keep the car mostly stock but use a late model GM LS engine and electronic automatic overdrive trans.
