Tulsa,Thanks for the link that answered a lot of my questions and saves me alot of scrounging in the yards. It looks like what Mopar did was to put three threaded mounting holes on the tail shaft. Then when ever they needed to reposition the shifter they made a new plate off those three holes. Now the question I have is. In your last pic on the link (no not the bell hsg.) the one with the shifter and grey plate. Can you bolt the Hurst to the grey plate using the two holes already there. I sent you a PM.
