I know on my '68 RR the factory Hurst shifter had no alignment hole in the reverse lever.
Here's what I did.
Make sure the trans is in neutral.
Next, align the 1/2 and 3/4 levers with an alignment pin (drill bit).
Attach the shifter rods to the levers on the trans and the levers on the shifter.
Once the 1/2 and 3/4 rods are attached while the alignment pin is still in, then allign the reverse lever of the shifter to a somwhat alignment with the 1/2 and 3/4 levers.
Then attach the rod to the lever on the trans.
Not sure this is the way the factory did it but my shifter hasn't had a problem in the last 5 years.
Hope thie helps
