So how tall is your auto floor shifter? Im looking to put one in with a bench seat. I dont want one with a big bottom console type box. A simple rubber boot would be nice. Post a pic of you of your floor shifter. especially if you have a bench seat.
Even with a manual valve body, a simple manual shift boot looks like it would work. Wth a T5 a Bench seat is still viable. .Typical vendors usually list a small and large 'Hurst" type shifter boot. Large @ 9 X 8 " makes it simple. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/huu-1147494/overview/ have fn -- -- -
True, but I really like the bench. Just need a shifter that is tall enough so Im not bending over to shift into drive.
Are you positive you do not want a mini console? Does your shifter have a reverse lock out? Have your neutral safety switch and back up lights been addressed? Both of these issues are resolved in my console.
It is a B&M Mega Shifter. Back in `97 when I bought it, the shifter was $142.95 through Summit Racing. The price of hotroding has definitely gone up. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bmm-80690/overview/
Ok, gonna go with a B&M Zgate. Its still a console, but not as wide as most. Since my car was a 3-on-the-tree, does it still have wires for a safety neutral switch hook up? https://www.holley.com/brands/b_and...ts_and_accessories/automatic_shifters/z-gate/
I'm not familiar with that particular B&M shifter. On the Summit Racing website owners give it good ratings and the description indicates there is a neutral safety switch and back up light switch.
I dunno but it really doesn't make a difference, at worse connect switch between present wiring and trigger post on solenoid... AFAIK all dash harnesses, auto or stick are same.. Without neutral safety, under dash there should be a plug with a jumper in it... If auto plug connects to neutral safety sw. Since 1970 was first year Ford used neutral safety for sticks, 69½ may or may not have one.. My 4-speed Cobra has no neutral safety, while automatic Fairlane does, I know harnesses are same.
