Ok, I know it's summer and things are a bit slow here on the forum, but want to get some opinions.
I know here we have purists and hot rodders and everything in between. The Hurst shifter I have in my vert is shot and is a pain in the ass. I have two rebuilt shifters ready to install, one is a stock, standard, 65 shifter, the other is a Hurst shifter. What shifter would you use for a cruiser - occasional driver - 3 or 4 shows per year car?

I would go with the Hurst, unless my car was 100% stock otherwise.

I dont see any reason to use the stock shifter, ever. Hurst Competition Plus all the way.

No question about it, HURST COMPETITION PLUS. Just cut the base off of your original shifter handle, drill 2 holes, using the Hurst handle for a pattern and then bolt it to the Hurst gate. This will make a 2" shorter shifter handle (quicker throw) or you can weld an extra 2" piece to maintain the original length. Wrap a wet rag above the weld and there won't be any chrome distortion. Even if there is, its bELOW the boot. Attachment DeletedWho doesn't remember Linda Vaughn, Miss Hurst |

What part # is the Hurst Competetion Plus shifter for a 64? I got a bench seat and a M20 26 spline
from 71 that`s going in my Wagon. Talked to a guy at Hurst but he wasn`t much help when i checked what he
recommended.

Thanks a lot BRO. Ordered the shifter but i need another installation kit because i got a 71 M20.
They got bolts to attach the transmission linkage instead of studs which are on the pre 69 transmissions.
