I have a 70 swinger 340 4 speed that has a pistol
grip shift handle installed. I am guessing this is
not stock. I'd like to keep the oval shift boot if
possible. Has anyone found a shift boot that will
work with the pistol grip in the A body oval bolt pattern?

no , it's not stock , the only boot close will be a 70 B body but the shape is different and you'll have to drill some new screw holes , not really a big deal .

Well, thats better than smelling the new exhaust
burning in and feeling like the heat is on.....

Thanks, I see if I can find a B body boot.

Would the E body be the same, it looks the same
as the B body?

I just used my factory 1969 shifter boot with the round hole in it and put my pistol grip through the hole (it stretched). man that sounds bad...

no the E body has a rectangular boot .

i've had a round hole boot tear trying to get a flat handle thru it , but its worth a shot i guess .

Did it work ok? The A body boot is kind of oblong
anyway isnt it. If it works, that would be best, but
I dont want to wreck a new boot.
