In a 69 Toyota Corolla it goes just ahead of the seat belt holes.

If it is a Chevelle https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif there are two different pieces that get welded over the floor cutout hole depending on whether you have a console or non console car. Tomorrow I can probably get enough dimensions to get you in the ball park for location.

That isn't where it is on MY Corolla. I think you are full of it. Charley, you must be thinking of the Cressida.

Oh, wait, you mean the 69 Corolla with the 396 in it (which you undoubtedly gleaned from his name which is MY69396) right?

Re: shifter hole
 
in that case a torch will do the trick

Re: shifter hole
 
Don't pay attention to these smart asses. Yes, the originals were indeed cut with a torch. You obviously want to know WHERE to cut out. I believe that if the tunnel is original, you will find four little dimples representing where the four screws go to hold down the shift boot trim piece. Drill those out, screw the trim piece in place, and you can use it as a template to mark the hole.

Hope that helps. If not, let me know. I believe I have some template instructions at the office.

That hole is for a 1967 car and probably a automatic not correct for a 69 4speed.

Re: shifter hole
 
Ok I found one you should be able to use. This is from a original 1969 SS 4speed car from california and is a LOS car. http://fototime.com/4F6A22BFA43E4D4/standard.jpg

Re: shifter hole
 
if i recall right a auto hole only needs to be trimmed on the left up to 1/4" from the screw hole on the left and the shifter factory or a hurst console shifter clears properly and the factory dust boot lands back down on the factory screw holes. if you look at the two pics you will see the 1.5" diff, no need to go crazy cutting, 10 mins with the jig saw does the job
