Guys,

As a forum member and friend asked me, '"Why are you putting in an automatic after you swapped in a 833OD?!" Because I am truly filled with slant sickness, I reckon! I am putting in a 727 into my 64 D100 after getting the 833OD to work perfectly. Just for the challenge or for lack of a project, guess. But, I do want a floor shifter.

Looking at all the catalogs shows the big names like Hurst, TCI, etc. all have Torqueflite floor shifters, in fact several flavors. For the street, has anyone got a recommendation of their most favored shifter? I don't know anything about them, such as does one need one with a reverse lockout, and I do see many shifters that don't indicate P, R, N, D1, D2, D3 , for instance. Looks like all shifters are about $250 so the price doesn't seem to matter too much.

Also I have at least two sets of super six kickdown apparatus...but don't use em because I run the Edelbrock 500 cfm now. BUT I am about to swap in a Holley 390 cfm and will have to make a linkage for it from the pedal. Do you have to have both a lokar kind of cable AND a kickdown rod for an auto to work?

(Fun to be beginning my adventure forward again from total ignorance)!

Thanks,

For the kickdown you need one or the other, cable or rod.

Excuse me, does this smell like chloroform to you?

My personal favorite is a Hurst Quarter Stick. I have both a forward pattern standard one and a reverse pattern pistol grip that is in my Valiant now. My feeling is that you can not buy a better shifter unless you spend $400 for a PPP.

I would do the Lokar cable. It is simple to install and works very well.
