HURST Round Bar Shifter Handle ID?
 

I have an old Hurst Round Bar Handle that looks like it's for a console equipped car. It is a bolt on style with 2 mounting holes. Handle has a slight bend at shifter base towards center then rises 4 inches then a 45 degree bend back to the driver. Part number on base between mounting holes is #7926.I emailed Hurst/Mr Gasket and they don't have records that go back before Mr Gasket took over Hurst. This could be 64-69 GTO, 69 Camaro, 69-70 Plymouth Roadrunner, or anything from that era. If anyone knows what it fits please email or PM me.Thanks, Kevin [email protected]

a picture would help to ID it
OEM Hurst shifters were press in design not bolt on starting about 68

I have heard that the two-hole bolt-in style are all aftermarket, vs the square-hole snap-in style which tends to be all OEM installed.
But I don't know if this is true.

Here is a guy that knows a lot more than I do about Hurst shifters....he was able to answer a part number question I posed.

Thanks for the info Sam. Looks like most Hurst OEM factory shifters used the bolt on handle from 1970 and up. I sent Pete an email with the part number. Maybe he has the answer. I will try and get a picture to post on site. Can anybody post a pic for me if I email it to ya. Maybe Joe C. if you wouldn't mind?......Thanks, Kevin

looks like a factory GTO shifter that someone drilled holes in to use on a Hurst aftermarket bolt on type shifter

Re: HURST Round Bar Shifter Handle ID?
 

Thanks for posting the pics Sam.Pete has confirmed the Hurst Handle is for 71-74 Mopar A-Bodies like Dodge Dart, Plymouth Duster and Scamp with 318-340, Factory 4-speed, buckets or bench seat and no console. Pete is the expert on anything HURST made and has a New Book due out in 2004 that covers the complete history of HURST. The info he sent me is very informative and if anyone has any Hurst Questions, he is the guy to ask. He's also a huge Pontiac GTO guy for you PONTIAC guys. Check out his web page that Sam posted above.........Kevin

does it have a fine thread or course thread for shift ball?
GTO was course, and I think Mopar was fine thread. I don't know about Mopar but GM used the press in design to lower assembly cost. Did he say Mopar used a bolt on design in 71 to 74 or did someone drill it?

Re: HURST Round Bar Shifter Handle ID?
 

Joe...It does have 3/8 24 fine theads on the handle.It is OEM Hurst for Mopar as you see it. It has not been drilled. I believe even GM used this style (not this actual handle) on Hurst Shifter equipped 70-81 Camaros and Firebirds.......Kevin

Our '72 Lemans Sport has the rounded Hurst shift handle with the rectangular push in end. It's GM Oshawa factory original. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: HURST Round Bar Shifter Handle ID?
 

From what I can remember, Chevy was tight with the Hurst shifters and only used them in 69 to 71 Camaro and COPO LT1 70 Nova. Pontiac used a lot of round handle Hursts from somthing like 64 to 81. Olds used a flat handle press in type 442 were stamped 442. I would like to see a book on the Hurst shifters. I have the original Hurst story book but it does not have complete year to year info.

I have one of those handles as well, bought it at a swap meet before I knew the Deuce #, now it just sits with all the other 'learning curve' items I have acquired [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
