My 71 didn't have any shift pattern on the ball so I figured the ball was changed out at some point with a non original knob. So I bought an oem knob with a shift pattern. It fit fine. Both shifter and ball are course thread. Also to note, it's left hand thread on mine. Tom

It does list 3 different part numbers for a 3 speed knob. "w/shift pattern", "w/o shift pattern" and also refers to 3/8-24 thread and 3/8-16 LH thread. As the saying goes, "you can learn something every day".
