New question-

this car has a Hurst pro-matic 2 shifter, and it has melted several shifter cables, i have ran shorter longer etc... wrapped in heat shielding... but they all seem to die.
I have a Lokar shifter, but on this B body it will dang near be under the dash.

what other options are out there?


Melting the shifter cable??? Maybe you need a ground strap from your engine to the battery? I am anal about grounds and besides every ground in my car going back to the battery, my engine, heads, and trans all have ground straps that go back to the battery .

....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....
