When we bought our 396 car, it already had a Hurst Competition Plus that, as it turns out, was installed by the original owner. The handle came straight up and curved at the top. When I put the seat forward for my short legs, it interfered with the handle in second and fourth. I adapted a bench seat Muncie handle to the shifter and have been happy ever since. Looks correct and shifts nicely. I think that if you spray lubed the shift mechanism once a year, a Hurst shifter would last a life time. Gotta love quality products.
