I know the experts, will disagree with me, BUT last year I had a new Hurst shifter  391-7308.... It was for 63-64  It fit my Muncie and sat nice in car..                I knew I had to change the shifter handle for a bench seat one..                              I sold that shifter!!!  Hurst , in my cataloque lists a 391-2747 for 65-67...              On e-bay, there is a vendor listing a Hurst shifter "complete" with a Muncie original stick for buckets for 399.00. This, I believe will fit your 67   I am going to buy one later, If I don,t sell car to Carl 3

I looked at this. Don't understand why it would not include 1967.
When I checked the Parts Place on line it showed nothing for 1967 Impala.
My fear is that it won't work with the console.

I make lots of mistakes, but would prefer not to order the  wrong one and have this cost $1,000.+ rather than $500.+

If someone would be prepared to lend (rent) me one to try, it would be appreciated. I've never held one of these in my hands, so I'm not sure of the issues: Impala vs Chevelle , 66 vs 67.
It must be the length of the rods and the height of the shifter in the hump.

 

What to do???

Lakewood Knowledgebase Question:

I want to install a Hurst shifter in my car. The shifter 391-2747, and linkage 373-3643 is no longer available? Is there any Hurst shifter I can install in this console equiped car? Thanks John

Solution:

Sorry but we do not offer another shifter that will fit that application. The shifter and installation kit was discontinued about 7 years ago and we have not offered anything since.

From a place in Illinois.

I called and talked to them. They cant give me the Hurst part #s.

I know 1966 Muncie is the same as 1967

I know 1966 Console is the same (interchangeable) with 1967

They will not confirm that this is useable for 1967.

If I order it, I own it, no guarantees.  Do I take a chance?

I used Hurst 391-7308 and 373-3163 for 63-63 and it fit fine in my 66   The stick is not curved enough, but I was going to use a Muncie stick anyway..(modify it)  The kit is available......66 and 67 are same floorpan?

I ordered this kit. It arrived with all of the parts, but no instructions.
Given that instructions are only to be used if all else fails, I started with a mock up on the bench using my old tranny.
Using the limited gray matter I have available, I was able to get 2 of the shifter rods to work at 1 time. with the multiple combinations I tried, I could not get the 3rd rod to work.
Sunday night I found a set of Hurst instructions for some other application and on Monday was able to get everything working on the bench.
Today I got the old shifter out and the new one bolted to the tranny in the car.
Here is where the oops appeared. The shifter arms interfere with Carl2's favorite item, the notorious "CROSS" member.

To be continued............

Rick,I'll be more than willing to come and take a look at your problem.I'll bring what I have for 4-speed parts and we can go from there.If i'm right,you might need a different cross member.I'll take a pic of mine.My car was an original 6 w/a 3 on the tree.My big block swap went ok and the only diff. is that I have a ST-10(which is identical to a Muncie) w/a Hurst shifter and handle.I do have several different mounting plates for the shifter to the tranny.Let me know.

Thanks for the offer rebelrouser. I will let you know tomorrow. I am working on plan B. If I need to go to plan C, your help would be appreciated.

Yes and after a "truckload of kindness" sent across country, Carl2 of 3  was too chicken to tell, that the old B-body cross member, was going to have to be "mangled" again to fit...        69Bel Air, the "chevy guy" told me to get a Beaumont? 4 speed or auto cross member  (At the time he wasn't sure about automatic one)   I found many cross members in Brucefield (5 miles from me)  Auto & 4 speed are the same width, as B-body, and 4 speed had OE Muncie bracket making it $$$  I got a nice Southern(auto) one and installed it (I have exhaust on,so it was a job).....        I added new rear mount, and the Beaumont member works" mint"   over a inch of clearance "under" shifter  and looks "stock"  Had to drill hole, for bracket on right, Holding emergency cable....    I am sorry I did not report this before    So the shifter is for Chevelle/Nova/ earlier Impala, and boot is 68-72 Nova....
