I haven't looked at the '67 consoles, but have looked at the new '68-'72 repros at several swap meets. They were awful looking, to the degree that I would've hated looking at them every time I got in the car (maybe it's just me). Cheap appearance, silver highlighting was sloppy.

Steve, Your frame is 112" it will interchange with any 68-72 two door coupe also the entire BOP line of A-bodies (Cutlass,GTO,GSX etc.) It will not interchange with the 4 door, Elky, or Wagon. These frames are 116" It also will not interchange with Monte Carlo. The front wheels on the Monte were extended forward 4" thus a 116" frame.

[Chevelle-List] Console Assembly Question
Thanks to everyone for sending me the information on the correct shifter hump for 68-72's with a console. The hump welded in nicely. I'm going to use straight silicone around the seam to water proof it. My question today lies with trimming the carpet. Should I trim the carpet so that it does not touch the rubber boot and retaining ring, or should the carpet be tucked or sandwiched into the assembly to hold it in place. I am worried that the carpet might "wick" in moisture during wet weather driving if-God forbid- I get stuck out in a rain storm. My car is a 70SS and I am proud to admit that it is an LS5 car (now more rare than LS6 cars -so it seams) Thanks, Steve - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] Console Shifter Mounting
Well It's done. It works, the shifts seem to be coordinated with the detents, *and* the neutral safety switch and backup lights work. Hoo...Rah! Just a few comments though (I used a ShiftWorks conversion kit on the transmission, a real GM cable, and an Old Old Stock shifter.: 1. The clips provided to secure the cable in the shifter and the transmission bracket are a joke. They were hard to put on, but didn't seem to retain the cable if I pushed on it. Maybe I didn't use them correctly, but I followed the directions 'best I could. I solved this by 'closing' the openings with a visegrip so the cable can't come out. 2. When drilling the hole for the cable, it wants to come out at a really shallow angle. Drill the hole appropiately. 3. I have no clue how I'll drill pilot holes for the rubber boot that seals the cable hole. Remove the drive shaft? Ha! Can you say RTV? 4. The cable connects to the shift lever on the transmission with a stud. That stud is shown as bolting on with just a flat washer and a nut. I think it should have a lock washer at least. A lock nut would be better. 5. On the side of a TH350 there are two tapped holes in the case that match the cable bracket perfectly. Don't use them... follow the directions... it will save you at least an hour :-) The cable bracket mounts using the pan bolts. Mine did not leak when I removed two in a row, but I worried about it. 6. The neutral safety switch connector is fed from two thick purple wires. It's on the very top of the steering column (hard to see). You will bust your knuckles when the connector comes apart, but hey no pain...(you get the idea). 7. I did all this work with the front end up on ramps. Although I had the emergency brake set, rear wheel chocks, and jack stands under the car, I was uncomfortable with the idea that as I wrenched on the shifter it would come out of park and the car could roll. To solve this I used a Chevy Suburban parked just behind and touching the Chevelle. Although the transmission was shifted through all the gears (many times) during the installation, the car never moved. Tomorrow it will be time to make the console lights work. I still haven't located that connector, but I got all day. Gary - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [Chevelle-List] Console Shifter Mounting
I went through this when I converted my '70 to factory floor shift. It's actually pretty intuitive where the placement goes. The shifter frame fits with the contours of the trans tunnel pretty well. Shuffle it around until it 'seats' itself. Keeping that in mind, align the shifter's cutout for the cable to the stamping in the tunnel and that's pretty much it. Just for giggles, you might want to lay the console over it, complete with the shifter cover portion just to confirm everything lines up. I remember being apprehensive before taking this plunge myself. Darrell Spencer Cave Creek, AZ (car season again!)

Re: [Chevelle-List] Console Shifter Mounting
Dwight, Thanks, but I have the assembly manual for 1970. As you say it doesn't have quite the level of detail I'd like. I get the impression that since the shifter is cable operated, it really doesn't matter where it's located exactly, and the guys at the factory had some latitude in placing the whole console assembly. I hate things like that :-) Thanks Gary - Original Message - From: "Dwight Fulton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "chevelle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 1:47 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Console Shifter Mounting Gary I have a Factory assembly manual for 72's & while it doesn't show exact hole locations it may be helpful to you.

[Chevelle-List] Console Question
When I bought my 69 Chevelle it had a Saginaw Tranny...which I soon ripped to shreds. The previous owner of the car gave me a console new in the box, but it would not fit since the saginaw shifter was on an angle. If I was to put a Muncie (M-21) in my car, could I put the console in the car? Will the shifter be in the right location? Lojac
