I think it is a stock mopar shifter of the 60's? it has two cables but the one for forward gears won't go far enough to let the other engage park. the eye of the cable hits the ferrel before the park cable has traveled far enough to engage park.
If a PB cable was installed on the console shifter the end of the inner cable is too long to work with the console shifter. The correct console shift cable housing allows the end of the inner cable to travel into it. In the pic below you can see the differnce in the inner cable ends. (PB is at the top)
Also, the console shifter won't work with a PB trans, the PB valve body doesn't have the extra notch for Park so the manual valve bottoms out just past Reverse.

The early, pre 1961, cast iron torquefyte used a different shifter cable than the later, 1962 and up cars did. There are three different versions of the shifter and park cables also, 1962,63 and 64 push button shifters, 1963(maybe, not sure if they where offered in 1963) 1964 and 1965 console shifters and the last one is the 1965 colum shifters The valve bodys, cables, rooster combs and manual valves all need to match the last thing is the cable adjustment, take the trans pan off and watch the cable ends engagement in the rooster comb, I adjust the cable so the pin on the end of the cable will drop into the hole in the rooster comb easily in all the forward gears and in neurtral One hole in the retainer ring adjsutment can make the difference between having it adjusted properly or off a tiny bit Them early cable shifter trannys are a challenge

Regardless of what the seller says that kit will not convert a PB valve body to console...the PB casting doesn't have the needed hole to allow the manual valve to travel into the Park position.

Column cables are much too short for console shifters.
