I do know that in 69, they changed the way the arms attach to the trans. Pre 69 used bolts through the arms into the trans, 69 and later had studs on the trans and the arms were held by nuts. I have a 69 M20 (wide ratio) in my 67 SS w/396 w/2:52 1st gear and 3.07 rear-end. I don't race mine and with the higher rear-end gear, it helps to get the car moving easier. I bought my Hurst shifter in two parts...the shifter kit is for a 69 Muncie and the tower kit was for my 67 w/console. Hurst has online .PDF catalogs at http://www.mrgasket.com/hurst.htm that you can find anything you need. Just watch the way the arms attach to the trans and Hurst can set you up with the correct Shifter kit and tower kit.
