I recently passed on a reasonably priced oem shifter for my 1967 beaumont. I currently have a hurst shifter in my car that I have grown to like. I have been debating what to do for quite a while with the shifter in my car and still have not made a decession. Have any of you tried the adaptor for the "muncie" shifter handle to the hurst shifter? Does it fit right or sit to high? I like the stock look and may eventually buy a factory shifter. Does the Muncie shifter work on a T-10 if I decide to go that route down the road?
Wow! I didn't know they made that one. The piece I am refering to is an adaptor but I can't find it now. I will hunt it down and post who is selling it when I have more time. Carl who sells the one you posted?
I heated the bottom, to get a better bend for my bench seat, but was threatened by other CP membrs to run the Hurst shifter stick I was quite upset, as car has all original replacement parts...
I have an adapter that I could send. I had to make a new one to reposition the shifter handle in my car. This was due to modifications to a 1966 kit to fit in my 67. Send me a PM with address if you want me to send it.

I was reading through some other forums about the adaptor and they say it does raise the shifter mount up between 1"-2" but none of them complain about it being an issue. I could cut out 1" off the bottom of a reproduction muncie shifter and re weld the mount to compensate for the adaptor. I also wonder if the one from Hubbard would be the best way to go?

After changing my mind 100 times I decided to go with the Hubbard shifter. It is a direct bolt on so no need for the adaptor. I didn't have to butcher my lower shift boot to use this one and I think it looks good. It has the 66 beaumont / chevelle bends to it but with the hurst shifter the throws are nice and short. No need to row over to 3rd.
