after also asking in forum , see is there a better shifter , the best appears to be the PPP shifter then a close choice between B&M proratchet and Cheetah SCS (Turbo action) and so on down the line

I've had this laying around for awile now. Finally got the parts coming to do the install along with a shift timer.

PPP is not always easy to get ahold of.... but on two occasions they have called me back at least after 2-3 days. I was at the right place at the right time when this one came up for sale, and it was ready to go with my clean N transbrake. Not cheap, but walk through the staging lanes and you'll see a ton of these out there. I've heard nothing but good about the product.

Are you going to shift it or is a box or some other device going to make the shift? If your going to shift it I like and use the older Fairbanks, Winters ,AKA Turbo action shifters up If the box is then one like the one showed up Mine, shiftnoid, is air shifted in S/P car based off of RPM out of the Biondo 400 box up

in my case the shifting chore will be handled through an ACD split shift control box. It will definitely help me get the proper rpm on my 1-2 shift as the small block likes to wing up past that shift point pretty quickly. I really had no intention on going that route, but the deal came up so I jumped on it.

had it in the car for 14 years now

I am also running a Pro Ratchet and it works great.

I just switched from Hurst Auto stick 3 to Turbo Action and the TA shifter is great.

Switched from a turbo action on my 3 speed to a PPP with the glide. I love the PPP
