Awesome information! Thank you very much! Sounds like I am after 1971 or later. I think you are right that getting rid of the nub and shift indicator will look much better. I have't had to look at it on a daily basis yet, once I do I am sure it having them there will definitely annoy me. lol Is this the conversion kit you were talking about https://www.manciniracing.com/mretp25.html Can this be bought and just replace that part of the column with out replacing the rest of it?
