Hi all, I've looked all over but as this is a pretty strange question it's difficult to put to words in a way that yields any results. I'm gathering parts for a 4 speed swap in my 73 duster, and I was given a Comp/Plus out of a 68 chevelle. While I realize that it might take some creative restructuring to get the shifter to an ergonomic position, I was wondering if it will function correctly bolted up to my 833.

I have been told yes and I have been told no by many different people, some who swear it'll work and some who say it won't. Hurst themselves gave me a very ambiguous answer. Basically, what I'm wondering is, if I bolt this muncie shifter up to the a833, and put a set of a-body linkage rods on it, and adjust it accordingly, will it shift correctly or misbehave?

Thanks

The shifter body is different. The shift pattern is different, chrysler reverse is to left up, chevy is right down and ford is right up.
