column shifter linkage with doug headers - 08/26/10 03:05 AM

Hay guys; I have a 72 RR with a 360 crate motor and a 727 TCI tranny.I just got my Dougs headers today and I bolted them to my motor{motor and tranny not in car yet}but first i had to remove the bracket thats on the tranny for the linkage,do I have to flip this bracket or is there another bracket I can buy? In the future i'm going to go to a floor shifter but,for now I have to stick with the column shift..what do I have to do?

I had to flip the brackets (tranny and frame mount) almost 180 degrees to work. The linkage now goes over the collector instead of under. I also had to lengthen the arm that comes off the steering column (engine compartment) to work. My car has a hemi with tti headers so I am sure yours will not be exactly the same but should be close. These shifters were never precision pieces so it just requires some patience and fabrication to get it to function.

Thanks PJM I was looking at the TTi modified torque shaft assembly ( p/n;B7174TSA-7 ) if you can check this out and let me know your input..THANKS
