Ray rebuilds, replates, etc, HURST (Muncie Trans) G.M. factory shifters ?????

Thanks,

[Bill Rose]

Any idea how much a typical rebuild/restoration would run???

[WILMASBOYL78]

Ray has a whole setup for doing Muncie shifters. Has a plating guy he uses for the chrome. BB Benny just had one done by him..maybe he can share current cost info. Everyone I have talked to says that Ray is the right guy. Hope that helps.

Would this Ray feller happen to have the correct *clips* that go on the linkage? You know, the old kind that actually work, not the new kind that just piss you off?

Is this the clip you need? Ground Up has them for $1.95 each. I have used these before and they work:

Gents..........

Unlike the High-Perf 69 Camaros, none of the Chevelles or Novas received a factory Hurst during that era. They were all the crappy 'bolt to the cross member' shifters we all love to hate.

Sam's Chevelle shifter is different from Camaro as follows:

1. The handle is removable with two bolts.
2. At least 2 different handles were available, depending upon bench or bucket seats.
3. Chevelle used a stabilzer rod bolted to the x-member.
4. The support rod from the shifter body to tranny is much thicker and of a different configuration.
5. The reverse lock-out assembly has a coil spring rather then a heat treated wrap spring as Camaro.
6. None of the linkage is interchangeable.

And the list goes on...............

MacNeish, Rich's First Generation and many others have bought restored shifters and/or parts from me.

Good luck with the shifter Sam.
