Hmm, good idea Larry... I'm confused though, is there another assembly I need to connect the cable from the shifter to the tranny? :-Diane ___ Chevelle-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://chevelles.net/mailman/listinfo/chevelle-list_chevelles.net
Re: [Chevelle-list] Column to floor conversion
Diane, To attach the shifter cable to the tranny, you need a cable mount that bolts to the trans pan and the correct trans shift lever for floor shift. You will need to drill a hole in the tunnel to pass the cable through then mount the cable in to the shifter base and attach to the shifter handle. You should have a plate on the cable that covers the hole you drilled in the tunnel.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Column to floor conversion
You don't really need to purchase another steering column. The column shift can be modified wiht a little effort and repaint. Remove the entire shifter column Remove the column shifter bar. Disassemble most of the steering column. Cut out the hump where the shifter bar attaches Patch it with your favorite body patch material (bondo, fiberglass, etc). Sand, smooth, repaint the whole steering column. Re-install. A floor shift column usually runs $100-$150. This might save you some $$$. I've not done it personally, but have heard of others doing it. Maybe someone else on the list will be able to comment also. good luck, Diane Peppin wrote: I mean, I guess I need a floor shift column duhhh Well, Yes, I have the wiring harness still connected to the dash.

My 72 Chevelle Malibu has a column shift, I have the console, and a shifter, and the cable for the shifter. I really want to do this conversion. I am planning on changing the 350 turbo to a 200R4 maybe next year with the economy the way it is. Can anyone give me a steps needed to pull this off?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Column to floor conversion
Sounds like you have what you need. Your only missing a floor shift column and the floor shift blank to cover up the indicator on the dash. I question where is your neutral safety switch if you don't change the column right away. I believe the shift rod still hooks to the column so in key off position it is locked in park. There is a different lever on the trans for both the floor shift cable and shift rod to the column, but that's about it. - Original Message - From: Diane Peppin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: The Chevelle Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2003 10:03 AM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Column to floor conversion My 72 Chevelle Malibu has a column shift, I have the console, and a shifter, and the cable for the shifter.

Diane, You didn't mention the console wiring harness, which you will need if you want console lights and the neural safety switch hooked up. Also, do you have the gauges dash wiring harness? If not, you will need some help with the wiring differences. Not a huge problem, you just need to know that they are different and no one that I am aware of has schematics of the gauge wiring.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Column to floor conversion
Diane, You'll need to first install mounts to the tunnel that the console screws into. You can install them with sheetmetal screws but at the factory they are welded and they are more stable and look nicer welded. Then screw the console to these mounts and the mount on the shifter base. I could give you exact measurements for a 69 on the mounts but mine is a 4 speed so I can't tell you were the shifter needs to be mounted exactly.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Column to floor conversion
I would also be interested in the measurements for mounting an automatic console mounting bracket to the tunnel. In my case its for a 72 El Camino. Anyone out there have their floor boards exposed and willing to make a measurement? Next best thing would be the measurement to where the console itself is, and then I could derive the bracket position. Tons of thanks to you all.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Column to floor conversion
Another question: When converting from column shifter to floor shifter, does one have to worry about the reverse lights? OK mine have never worked since I got the car. It came with a TH350 and column shifter that has been replaced with an aftermarket floor shifter. I have no idea where the original reverse light switch is but assume its in the column. The wiring harness to the rear is original but somewhat butchered up at this point.

[Chevelle-list] Column to floor conversion - Backup lights
Title: Column to floor conversion - Backup lights Another question: When converting from column shifter to floor shifter, does one have to worry about the reverse lights? When you say worry about, it makes one wonder since you haven't had them operational anyway. Me neither in the 17 years I've owned my 67 G and now that I've converted to a 700R4, I want the damn things to work - just because. LOL! I honestly don't know where your backup light switch is but a wiring diagram would show you. Depending on the aftermarket shifter you have, you should be able to get (or rig) a micro switch to the shifter to operate you backup lights. That's what I'm going to do with my BM Quicksilver when/if I get around to it. Dale ___ Chevelle-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://chevelles.net/mailman/listinfo/chevelle-list_chevelles.net

Be sure to carefully unpack the kit and place each component in its accompanying mesh safety bag. Mount the Pershing DF4 mesinator on top of the perforated Gerring Mach 77 refibulator and attach them using the eight-millimeter torque fork. Be sure that the refibulator is mounted at a 66 degree angle and properly dispersed so that it is flush with the curved section of the Pyrex thistle tube. Place the four sections of the triangular separation gear into the posture cylinder and lock them into place using the band aid adhesive strip. Insert the wiggling pin into the wobbling hole, making sure that it seated correctly. Place the D cell battery and the eleven 9 volt batteries in the power chamber. The device should be calibrated before operation using the optional digital corkscrew accessory pack prior to operation. Insert the digital corkscrew through the electronic combustion service chamber using caution not to touch the reinforced tungsten igniter control module and quickly turn the inverter drive to 28.6 degrees. Turn the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit upside down and hit the bottom plate with a 48-ounce ball-peen hammer while shaking the unit vigorously. Force open the door to the incineration valve compartment and set the pressure gauge to 719 psi. Close the door and seal it shut with duct tape. The unit should now be properly calibrated and ready to use.

Point the aerial to 17 degrees north by northeast to within the parameters of the Telstar GS-2 weather satellite and apply pressure to the wing shaft on the southern most section of the modular accelerator. Using the special ratchet adapter supplied with the unit, rotate the heater core to the "on" position. The "on" position has been obtained when the green light begins to flash, signifying that the red light is about to go off.
