Re: [Chevelle-list] elcamino rubber
Yes A SPECIAL fastener, that I don't believe is available from the aftermarket. I couldn't find it online at The El Camino Store, nor NPD. I'll take a pic of what is on mine (68-72) post it a bit later. What year is yours?

They fit thru the square holes in the body lip. My 72 uses 6 of them.

[Chevelle-list] Location of shifter
I need to make a custom bracket to attach the shifter to the transmission... It's a Muncie transmission with a Hurst Competition Plus shifter that is going into a '68 Chevelle. It's supposed to fit inside the stock console. I noticed the shifter stick has a 90-degree jog in it, pushing the stick toward the passenger side... Just wondering where the stick ends up. I'd like to assume it's centered down the centerline of the transmission. I have nothing to check it against since the floor is all new. Does anyone have the same transmission and shifter? With the transmission in 3rd or 4th gear; how far from the edge of the stick to say, the driver door panel or center of the steering column?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Location of shifter
I ran a Hurst super shifter with Muncie 4 gear in my 69 before I started the resto. The shifter came right up the factory hole in the floor with no mods but the shifter handle was too short to use the console.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Location of shifter
The Competition Plus is/was different than the Super Shifter. The Super Shifter was a 'generic' unit and sat the housing in a straight line with the shift rods with the installation kit (rods, shift arms, etc.) being the only difference between various transmissions. The Comp Plus is/was a 'bolt-in' to replace the original Muncie unit with installation kits and shifter body tailored to specific applications. The shift handle on the 68 unit is shown to be bent about 1 toward the driver half-way up the handle. Isn't this bend applicable to the original unit? Interior photos I have of 68s with a console appear to show a bend. Could it be you might have the wrong installation kit or shift tower? Maybe a 64-67 unit or a 69-72 unit? My 2005 Hurst .PDF shows a 68 with a Muncie is different from 64-67 and 69-72 units. Installation kit (373 3163) is the same as 64-67 due to the attachment arms but the shifter only (391 8014) is the same as the 69-72 Muncie units.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Location of shifter
Hurst makes a bunch of sticks I bought one for $5 at Carlisle. Check the web site you will find one long enough or bent the way you need it.

Re: [Chevelle-list] elcamino rubber
Harlen, That looks alot like a radiator grill nut (takes a number 8 screw) and should be avaialble from a local auto house or your local GM dealer.GM part # 15686142; i think. If it was me, I would go with a nylon nut. More selection and alot of different sizes. Then snap in and no chance of rust. Go here http://tifco.com/auto.html and look at pages 20 and 21. The radiator grill nut can be seen on page 26. Good luck, Rich If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
