Muncie shifter handle 70 chevelle

[P.J.]

Rick
Thanks for the info from the parts books. If there is no
3973864 or 867 mentioned in the parts book of that vintage
why is 3973864 in the 70 assembly manuel for m20 m21 m22 W/ bucket seats? and why is the famous 70 chevelle (I wont mention any names)with bucket seats and no council have a (I beleive)council shifter # 3973867.My friend with the documented ls6 also has a 3973867 council shifter.Another question begs to be asked
at this point is there another council shifter for the 70 chevelle other than 3973867? and what number is on the handle?
Thanks for your responce

Peter:
No, but consolE does and since my orig 12k mile 70 SS doesn't have one but does have shifter #3973867. The shifter is still near new. It is in the Hurst box that the replacement came in. The Hurst instructions are dated 1969, so I'm sure the Muncie was removed just about immediately. The grease is still white in the Muncie mechanism! See photo.

Part number on handle. Again, this is a bucket seat, no console car.

The original Muncie shifter that is still connected to the original M22 in my '71 SS454 ElCamino, bucket seats and NO console is P/N 3973867 if that helps any.

Dave,
My friend Rick with the black 70 ss documented ls6 car who I think is one the most knowlegeable persons I ever ran across re the 70 chevelle told me about your car.I know it was a long shot trying to find you. But we now have the right information
about what shifter were installed on the 70 chevelle bucket seat car with no councoooool. Information about our cars and the acurate restorations depends on dedicated members on this site . And Thank you Jan for you input on the fact that GM used the same shifter in 1971.I also want to thank all the other members who took the time to voice their opinion.
I am so happy I could just s---. I know I need to be treated
real soon, but it sure feels good waiting for the treatment.
Thanks again
