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 .



I just added a new ground actually from the motor to the chassis. But it is melting due to heat. the car has the schumacher heads and there is just no room to keep the cable away from the heat. I think i may do the rear exit shifter.
