Re: Hurst shifter handle
 
Is there a number on the muncie shifters to tell what they fit? I think I have a couple but will need rechromed and rebuilt....

Micheal, the Nova handles are different than Chevelles. When the Nova shifter handle comes out of the shifter, it turns to the right, to get it farther away from your leg, so just cutting a handle off and drilling new holes, doesn't work. That's why others have talked about grafting the new handle to a Nova handle. Also the Chevelle handles are bigger, and I have to be careful which handle to use, because they can hit the dash.

It works if you cut off the Muncie stick below the offset on the bench seat stick.
There is a bushing welded on that has to be removed also and some grinding has to be done. Welding on the lower piece to the Hurst stick will work also.
The one in the pic here was not cut off in the right place as they cut off the offset part.

On the 67-68 Camaro I just match the Muncie stick to the Hurst 4106 stick.
The 4106 stick is also used on 1968 Nova with console

there are some on here for 67-68 Camaro and 1968 Chevy II (Nova) with console

They also sell splined shims to move it over.I might have some shims left over from when i bought the hurst/muncie kit.
Have you looked at Hurst's website?

Find an old shifter handle cut off the bottom and weld on the hurst bottom.

Just did it for Tom Williams a couple months ago.

The second shifter is the one he gave me to use as a template.

Of coarse I had to grind my weld dowm.

Jason, what model car was the Muncie shifter handle out of? I plan on this on my 69 Nova.

Re: Hurst shifter handle
 
Thanks again for the replies gentlemen. I've looked at a bunch of handles. I've been swamped the last couple days getting stuff done on the Nova, and getting the truck, trailer and El Camino ready for the trip to the Ohio Chevelle show. I'll deal with the shifter when I get home. Thanks again for all the replies. Lots to think about......maybe I should have stuck with the powerglide??
