John,

Great! Does your HDG shifter use a cable or linkage rod?
Does the reverse lockout still work? How about a neutral
safety switch and backup lights? I'd like to know how this
all works if you can spare some more input time.

Steve

Here's a picture of the other Hurst "zig-zag" shifter I was
referencing earlier. Anyone know what it is/was? I think
it may have been an AutoStick, but those seem to be a straight
pattern instead of this one.

Daniel,

I noticed that too. However, the guts of the shifter, the
chrome, and the face plate are all NOS. That's got to get the
blood boiling. I'd bet the modifications wouldn't be that
tough to get it to work in a Camaro or Chevelle.

The shifter with the zig-zag pattern is an Auto-Stick ----I had Motion stick one in the my Chevelle when they first came out--late'70 or in '71. I used a neutral switch off a manual GTO activated by a bracket at the base of the shifter .The Car had to be in park to start...I just put a toggle-switch for the back-up lights under the dash...to pass inspections......Isn't it the same one they used on the Yenko Deuce....

The auto stick was used in deuces.They were shipped as column auto. The Hurst shifter was dealer installed at Yenko. I have the original one in my car. Starts in neutral. No back up lights. Earl

My 69 Camaro "COPO" recreation (T-400) has a B7M Hammer shifter (nice but obviously new). I'm thinking of putting column auto back in car rather than the new HURST Dual Gate !!!

Your opinions please??????

How in the world could they get "no back up lights" passed
state inspection? Especially as a newly shipped vehicle.
