70 chevelle factory hurst shifter?

[camarojoe]

To me it always seemed like the Muncie shifters have about 2 mile long throws compared to the Hurst...I had a 69 Chevelle with a factory Muncie and it actually shifted pretty decent...not super, but decent. (It did bind up every once in awhile, requiring me to crawl under the car and yank on the rods with my hands or bang on them with a wrench to free them up.) For what it's worth, the factory Hurst in my Deuce is no picture of precision either.

Unfortunately, that's an extremely accurate description. I had a '68 Chevelle with the Muncie shifter. Everything said in the previous three postings is true. The 1-2 and 3-4 shifts weren't too bad but the 2-3 shift you could time with a calendar.
I would use the factory shifters for accuracy, but NOT for function or reliability!
