I am looking for the correct shift lever for a 1970 Challenger 440 wirh a 727 and a console shifter. The two I have won't work. The first straight lever does not allow the shift rod to go far enough back to hold securly with the pinch bolt. I looked in the service manual and the lever in the picture looks like the bent one. The issue with this one is it is not long enough so the rod to the shifter hits the neutral switch. Is there a longer bent lever for console cars? I am trying to find mthe correct lever but I don't know what it would look like. Gerry.

The lever on the right is the correct style but it's too short to be factory, probably from an aftermarket cable shifter like B&M, etc.

Pic below is of factory levers.
