I use a B & M Pro Ratchet shifter in mine. Very good race shifter for a Rev Manual valve body. Can be a pain to get adjusted sometimes, but very reliable.

If you want the BEST shifter out there then PPP is #1 by far. Walk around the pits at a national or divisional event and look and see what the SS and Comp guys are using. They aint cheap but they are the best.

I've had my turbo action shifter since the mid 80's. No complaints. Taking it out of my cuda and putting it in my 67 Belvedere(I'll have it done before the cuda) and then when I start updating the cuda I'll be getting another one.


Ok

Doesn't the Hurst 1/4 stick look alot like this B & M Pro Stick ?
I though the one my buddy had did. Myself I like this B & M Pro Stick alot. It does not cost a ton of money and its simple reliable and easy to use and works great when racing. Ron

I like the old Fairbanks, Winters, Turbo Action H.D. garbage truck industrial type floor shifters I've had three of them in three different cars so far I have worn out both a B&M and Hurst ratchet shifters in two other bracket cars in not much time, maybe four years of racing twice a month each year a long time ago I like the ease of installation and the ease of shifting the Fairbanks and Winters reverse pattern shifters, there not as near as sensitive on the cable adjustments as all the other ones I have used Buy the best once and don't look back

Another vote for the Winters style shifter, solid, bombproof and will not jam ever. I've used most of the other shifters over the years and found them flimsy, easy to jam, fiddly to use and in a few cases, easy to hit the wrong gear. Been a Winters convert for years now.

I really like my PPP. Great shifter and the best part is the rear entry cables. No more worrying about routing around headers and starters.

Go to Summit and try them out. They have most all of them on display.

I think you would like a ratchet type shifter the best
